Mrs Woodcock
Meet your teacher
Hi, Ms Woodcock here! I can’t wait to see you all in September – Team Woodcock! I’ve worked for the trust since 2018 and have over 18 years of experience supporting and teaching in both primary and secondary
schools. I have worked with lots of different age groups of children throughout Rotherham, from EYFS to Year 11. I have been involved with different children under a huge rainbow of different needs. A huge part of that experience has involved working with children with ‘superpowers’, a quality that carries a label of S.E.N.D. supporting the difference and ensuring equality of their needs. I have experience working with children with a range of difficulties and challenges when facing the adventure of education and life. I truly enjoy teaching all
different ages of children and the adventures it brings.
I am a huge art fan -I just love art – Helping children to become confident artists is a real passion of mine. Everyone can draw- they just need to embrace the subject, and shine through with confidence using an array of basic skills to achieve inspirational work. I enjoy all kinds of different music (especially live) from relaxing, calming ocean sounds to rock and heavy metal.
I am also a huge rugby fan – My two children are grown up, one at University and the other an engineering apprentice, which keeps me on my toes, they both play Rugby so a lot of my weekends are used up as ‘mums’ taxi’. If I am not with them you will find me walking my pampered pooch (Bella) around the peak district. My favourite film characters are Little Mermaid and Baby Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy- he is so cute! He makes me smile when he dances!
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. 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 have been a Teaching Assistant at Aston Hall for almost 10 years and volunteered 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, and 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 Board of Trustees 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.
