Old school pride in 'smasher' Jessica Ennis
Teachers from her old school have paid tribute to Jessica Ennis, English teacher Ian Rouse taught Ennis media studies and said:
You would never have known the hours she was putting in with her athletics unless someone told you.
She was very bright, very hard-working and she made a great contribution to the school.
I don't think many people did realise she was putting so many hours into her sport.
She's just a smasher.
Chemistry teacher Zoe Thomas said:
She really is an inspiration.
We've got a big poster of her in the gym. There's a massive picture in the school as well. They all know her and there's a lot of pride
She's lovely - totally unaffected but a total professional. Such an impressive person
