Paul Patrick

Born on 23 July 1950 in South Shields, Paul Patrick is an openly gay teacher and leading British LGBT rights activist specialising in fighting homophobia in the public and voluntary sectors; particularly in the education system. He taught at BRGS for several years, rising to become Head of Drama, but was then unceremoniously fired for reasons which have never been fully explained to the student body.

He is currently working on Biting The Hand That Feeds Me!, the first volume of his autobiography.

It is important to note that his Wikipedia Page says he left BRGS "after a period of illness" but also neglects to dispel any rumours regarding the Crucible Incident.

Mr Patrick was a great teacher. instead of confiscating maltesers, he'd ask for one. When doing plays, the more erratic and more people that ended up dead on the floor, the better. We would do drama instead of english when he got bored. And he was a funny guy. I heard he got fired because he taught an entire English 6th form set the wrong syllabus and they all failed.
