Welcome
to class Y4HS
Mr Steeple
Meet your teachers
My name is Mr Steeple and I have been working within Wickersley Partnership Trust for 4 years and this will be my second year at Aston Hall. We are a pure Y4 class and our classroom will be in the main school building on the KS2corridor. We will be sharing a cloakroom with Y5LD. I am very excited to begin our learning and I cannot wait to welcome you all back after the holidays. I love to create fun and engaging lessons for my students. When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I also love playing football and watching it whenever I can.
Meet your Teaching Assistants
Mrs Clifton
Hi, I’m Mrs Clifton. I have been working at school for the past 12 years, before that I was a parent volunteer which I started as my youngest child joined Foundation stage. I love my job and I believe I am the luckiest person in school. I work with all classes and pupils on a weekly basis covering all teachers on their PPA time out of class. Watching pupils grow in confidence and size from year 1 through to year 6 is a privilege.
Out of school I have 2 things I love, family and swimming. My family, I am a very proud mum to 3 grown up children Beth, Kate and Jack. To add to the craziness, we have 2 loveable black Labradors called Indie and Lola who I love to walk with my husband. Then there is swimming, I have been part of the City of Sheffield Swimming Club for the past 35 years. First as a swimmer, during this time I was lucky enough to swim for Great Britain. Since retiring I have always stayed involved in the club and still coach 3 times a week after school.
Mrs Lindley
Hi, my name is Mrs Lindley I have worked at Aston Hall School since 2004 as a teaching assistant. My role within school is working in our nurture provision supporting our most vulnerable children. I absolutely love my job building relationships with all our children. It really is such a privilege watching them grow and achieve everyday. I have two boys Billy 14 and Harry 10 which keep me very busy on weekends. I love to watch them play football. I have a little shih suh called Teddy who is just like a real life Teddy bear.
Mrs Stickland
Hi, I’m Mrs Stickland. I’ve been a Teaching Assistant at Aston Hall for almost 9 years and was a volunteer here for 2 years before that. I have always worked within the childcare and social work industry and trained as a Nursery Nurse when I left school. I love being a part of primary school life and I have a passion to support all children to achieve their best potential in all areas and believe this is gained by helping them to feel safe and happy. Over the years, I have had the amazing opportunity to experience all year groups in school by supporting and assisting the teachers by carrying out various roles.
My personal life is just as hectic with a 16 year old son, who used to be a pupil here at Aston Hall. I also have a crazy Border Terrier called Poppy who makes us laugh every day. Some of you will have also seen me around at the local Scout Group in Swallownest. I am the Secretary on the Executive Committee and am very much involved with all sections; Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts. I feel very proud to be able to give back to the community by ensuring children gain the most experiences they can and I work closely with some amazing Section Leaders.
Areas of Learning
