Jaz's Story

Jaz is home-educated. She attended mainstream school until the end of Year 8, but we decided to homeschool so we could better tailor her education. As a family, we also love to travel, so homeschooling gave us more time and opportunity to do this. Jasmine has travelled around Southeast Asia, Costa Rica, Slovenia, Albania, and many other countries. She is currently in Sri Lanka.


Jaz has a sister age 12 and a brother age 11 and they get on so well. They are all very close and love to spend time together. Jaz loves to make up dances with her sister and play rugby and cricket with her brother.


Jaz loves to write stories and is very good at Spanish. Her favourite pastime is gymnastics. 


Jaz competes in an integrated team (half mainstream, half disability) and has so far won three British gold medals. She trains for 10 hours every week and also volunteers as a gym coach at her club.
