Head of History

Mr Williamson joined the school in September 2004 from Haslingden High School, along with Mr Bretherton. During his time at said high school, Colin Williamson gave his year 8 history class, the opportunity to recreate the Spanish Armada. This including making the boats out of anything [preferably flammable], and then set alight to them(continues annually at BRGS). This was great fun, but ended with burn marks on the table. Since joining BRGS, such antics have included making various people dress in WWII uniforms and cause the class to start their own wars with paper bombs to re-enact the blood and gore that was the trenches! Mr. Williamson is a legend

Tutor

Form tutor for 13CLW (no middle name, just CoLin).

Takes his form to Pizza Hut for their leaving treat, and for a leaving present gets them numerous items including a tin of beans and loo roll. Is a red devil through and through! He was reputedly offered a threesome after the Y13 Leavers Ball but had to decline as he is happily married.

Valentine's Day 2008

Mr Williamson was reportedly sent a single long stemmed red rose from a certain Food Technology teacher who goes by the name of Mrs Hughes. This rose was presented in Upper 6th's History lesson by Kirsty, who decided to lie on the desk (dressed in a very low cut top) with the rose in her mouth when he entered the room. This consequently caused Mr Williamson's face to turn the colour of the rose in question.

Rats

Colin hates rats. He spent 5 minutes of 9S' 2006-2007's History lesson telling us a story about a practical joke that was played on him involving a dead rat.

Kit Kat's

Mr Williamson is probably the only teacher in school who gives them out. You can get one for literally just answering a question.

If you do something in front of the rest of the class, such as hotseating, then you will be awarded a Kit Kat. If you do something in front of the rest of the class BETTER that everyone else, he has been known to give out a Kit Kat chunky! Mr W also gives out the rare kit kat chunky to the winner of the year 7 history model competition!!! yum....
