Mrs Chapman

Playing taboo, that amazing mathematical game.

Is that a standard size pint? Looks quite large in comparison!

Mrs Chapman is a Maths teacher at BRGS, she is currently the form tutor of 10R.

Missed Vocation

Due to the fact she is the only teacher in the school to carry "Well done for trying!" stickers, and the fact every piece of work is stamped with a smilie, many believe Mrs Chapman actually trained to be a primary school teacher, yet was seen as too intelligent to teach differential equations to Year 3...

Some fool says...

Recently published photos of year 9 camp yield a proportion of photographs of Mrs Chapman that, to some, seems too many standard deviations away from the mean. The question is: which photographic fiend harbours a secret yearning for Mrs C, expressed only through their happy-snapping?

David Bailey replies...

'Photographic Fiend' answers: "Interesting point. I will, of course, make sure in future that published photos bear a more representative sample of all the happy campers to keep everyone happy. During the week 315 photos were taken and the great majority of these photos were taken nowhere near Mrs C. Indeed, there are also 4 photos of Mr Ventress from the same week. Don't worry, I'm going to talk to my therapist about it."
