The Rest of Our Team

Mrs. S. Oseman - PPA Teacher

Bonjour! My name is Mrs Oseman. I have been a teacher at Crumpsall Lane Primary School for many years. During my time here I have had my own classes from Year 3 to 6 and now enjoy working right across school from Reception to Year 6. I am the Languages Leader, ensuring our French curriculum is fun and engaging. As part of this role, I also ensure that pupils who are new to the school with English as an Additional Language, are identified and targeted so that they can be fully involved in school life.

Dr. J. Chippindall - PPA Teacher

Hi, my name is Dr Chippindall and I teach computing and science in Key Stage 2. I love learning with technology and being curious about finding things out in science. I teach part time at Crumpsall Lane. When not in school, I run robotics projects for the University of Manchester. I also spend time tinkering with electronic projects and building model aircraft. I enjoy listening to music and running, occasionally.

Mrs. N. Halim - PPA Teacher

My name is Mrs Halim and I have worked at Crumpsall Lane for a long time! I have taught across the year groups as a class teacher but now I am covering classes, mainly Year 1, 2 and 3. This year I am working Monday to Wednesday and my leadership role is Behaviour Management.

Mr S. Roberts - PPA teacher

I have been teaching for well over 20 years! I am passionate about learning and have a thirst for knowledge. Creativity is what motivates and inspires me to be passionate and I hope this comes across in my teaching. I am a semi professional musician performing in social clubs and at functions. My greatest passion is song writing.

Mrs Z. Ali - Teaching Assistant

I have worked at Crumpsall School Primary School for over 12 years. It is scary to think that the children I worked with in Reception are already at College!
During my time at Crumpsall, I have worked with all year groups and am currently based in the SMART Room in the mornings. I love working at Crumpsall Lane and can not imagine working anywhere else!
In my spare time, I love to spend time with my family and friends.

Mrs H. Martin - Specialist SALT Teaching Assistant

Hello everyone, my name is Mrs Martin. I have worked at Crumpsall Lane for 18 years supporting children who have learning difficulties. My main role is to support staff and children with 'Speech, language and communication.' I work closely with SENCO and the Speech Therapist.

Mrs. N. Ali - SEN Teaching Assistant

The Think Room is where I started my journey in education. I experienced that with patience, listening and empathy, children can come a long way no matter what they may have experienced in childhood. If we support them and direct them in a positive way, the outcomes are amazing.
I feel such an achievement when a teenager recognises me and says, "Hi Mrs Ali I am going to college/university because you believed in me."

Mrs A. Sakaj- SEN Teaching Assistant

Hi, I have been working at Crumpsall Lane for more than 7 years. Over the years I have had the privilege to work with different year groups and have had many different roles. I love working with children; each day is special and very different.
In my spare time, I love travelling and reading. My two amazing children keep me busy, at all times.
