About

Mr. Paul Wyton, became head of the Modern Foreign Languages department for BRGS in 2003 and has since then changed the year 7 compulsory language to German. He has also generally sorted out the language rooms, with posters of 'The Language Rules' and question words for French, Spanish and German. Wyton teaches French and German, German being his chosen subject of preference.

Mr. Wyton's middle name is Nelson. This is not a fact he wished to be disclosed, but was eventually discovered by the GCSE german set of 2004 - 2006 in early 2005, by Daniel Smith, with thanks from his son, Thomas. After realising what Tom was indeed mr Wyton's son, this was the first thing he asked him. This led to Daniel Smith translating 'Nellie the Elephant' into german, and then reciting it at least twice a lesson. For a year.

Mr Wyton's teaching style can be seen as odd yet very effective, his lesson would consist of stupid voices; odd hand gestures (all clean of course); a jesting insult to one or two of the clever members of the class he is teaching and will also include someone trying to think of a word he doesnt know in German. This has become an outstanding ambition for one of his current year 11 classes - ever since year 9. He was once, very nearly, caught out by "Sweets Van". He actually was caught out in 2007/2008 by 9R, more specifically Nicola Atherton by the word 'Chipmunk'. Several lessons later he reported back saying it meant Bachenhoren, but we aren't too sure where this came from.

Make him say 'chewing gum' in French. It's hilarious.

Also, make him sing the alphabet in German in an army chant style, it has been a favourite of the 2006-2007 Year 10 for the past 3 and a bit years.

A group of year 7 pupils in 2007/08 discovered that if you break the lock of his cupboard, and stand on his egg sandwich and blow up his banana he will get VERY annoyed at you. They learnt this the hard way.

Tattoos

Even thought the title says tattoos plural, that may not be completely true, for as far as I know he only has the one, ring around his arm in an old english/nordic style; most people do not know this, but it is visible on his arm when he rolls his sleeves up for period 4/5 lessons on hot days.

It has been revealed, from a very reliable source, that the nordic ring does indeed exist, yet there is also a second. On the right arm, a tattoo, something unintelligable, with two sixes to follow it.

Spooky story
