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 also the Modern Foreign Language subject leader and work with everyone in school on learning and improving our French.

Dr. J. Chippindall - PPA Teacher

Hi, my name is Dr Chippindall and I teach computing and science in years 4, 5 and 6. 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.

Mr. B. Bloodworth- Sports Coach

Hi I'm Mr Bloodworth. I have worked in Sports for 10 years, mainly in football as this is my passion and hobby. I support Manchester United and am still "trying" to play football myself.
