Mr Wyton
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 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.
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 present 10R for the past 3 and a bit years.
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.
