How does your experience at Madras compare to other schools? |
| Mrs Payne |
I love it here! It is a school which is so accepting of all kinds of kids – everyone finds their group. The variety of talented pupils in Madras is amazing; musically, dramatically and in sport. I love the chance for a night out to see these performances – especially the talent show! |

You have recently been involved in the school’s tennis club, what is it that you do? |
| Mrs Payne |
It is probably best described as assistant or motivator or, more accurately, driver. Despite never having played tennis and still not being quite clear on the rules, I am definitely relishing my new role, always ready to supply car rides and snacks whenever needed. |

Another hobby that you are somewhat notorious for is shopping, is it not? |
| Mrs Payne |
Mr. Payne may tell me it is an illness, but I can’t get enough of it! |

What is it that got you interested in teaching? |
| Mrs Payne |
My mum was an English teacher herself, so naturally teaching was the one career I beyond doubt didn’t want to do! Instead I tried a postgraduate in personnel management – but it was definitely not for me. I thought I would try my hand at teaching, and on my very first day in front of a class I knew I’d made the right decision. It is something I have never looked back on. |

Thank you very much for your time. |
