Hi, my name is Marion Priestley and I have been teaching for over 20 years.  I have been working at Crabbs Cross Academy since 2016 and prior to this, I taught in a large primary school in Birmingham for 14 years.  Having taught across a range of year groups, I am looking forward to the exciting challenges that teaching a Year 1/2 class will bring this year.  Working alongside a fantastic team of staff, I can’t wait to see how the children grow and develop throughout the year. 

Out of school, I love to spend time with my family.  I have two wonderful boys that like to keep me very busy with days out to the park – a football or rugby ball usually involved!  As a family, we enjoy visiting and exploring new places.  When I get time, I love to get lost in a good book, as a way to relax.
