Mr Halliwell

Mr Halliwell is a Maths teacher who came to BRGS in 2008. As a child he went to a boarding school where a headmasters detention was to run around the school until you puked. Prior to becoming a teacher he worked in every possible occupation, including in a pukka pie factory, as an accountant and many more. He teaches mostly in Room 64.

• He calls Usman Khan and Joe Gill in 08G 'Pinky and Perky', but which one is which remains a mystery. Even Mr Halliwell doesn't know which is which. He once called the pair of them "Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee".
• He is dislexic.
• He has an unusual laugh.
• He Likes to leave his fly open on Friday afternoons.
• (He likes to shout at us till we're quiet to run a round after wasps called Fred and Ted,
• He likes to say, 'HELLO SIR' in a dramatically VERY pervy voice,
• He likes to pick students via the 'Ip, Dip, Do, YOU' method.
• Will not sleep till everyone in 07N is expelled as he likes to use Room 64 without their bags getting in the way. (Their form room is 64)
• Has a tendency to blame Lewis Wood for the mess made in the maths classrooms.
• Always has a flask full of coffee from the Sixth Form Canteen.
• Blames EVERYTHING on whatever form is using 64 as their form room.
• Once amused himself during quite a hard test by annoying the pupils of 9B/G by clicking his pen constantly during the test, talking to them, squeaking his chair and sending messages to people over bluetooth.
• One time he was telling Alan off and said he possessed all the qualities of a moron when I put my hand up and said moron meant carrot in welsh (it does). Mr. Halliwell has since looked up moron on wikipedia and he concludes it to mean a child between the age of 8 and 12, who exhibits silly behaviour.
• HE LIVES IN A BIN! He likes to lecture on how plastic is made because his old job was making the machines that did it.
• Will commonly spend 30-45 minutes of lesson time randomly talking to students about technology and/or physics (which is pretty much anything Mr Newby tells him).

A Game of Chase

Its a Small World...

On the 2009 Year 7 trip to Paris, Mr. Halliwell, two teachers, and four certain Year 7 students went on an adventure. It was nearly time to leave the Disney park, but Mr H convinced 4 poor Year 7s that the ride "Its a Small World" was a good ride. Clueless, the Year 7s agreed to go on the ride. Half way through, it broke down.......the very anoying music went off.......the wierd scary robot people froze......and the the teachers and students were nervously laughing their heads of. (nervous because a very freaky german clown was starring at them) After about 15 mins, Mr Halliwell climbed off the boat onto a display and did a lively little dance. One of the teachers pressent, laughed but told him to get down. A lady then said through the speakers: "There appears to be a slight problem with...................Please remain in your boats and do not stand on the displays." Mr H went red and everyone burst out in fits of laughter. One of the teachers rang up Mr Mercer and they all showed our singing skills by substituting the music. They were stuck on the ride for over half an hour! Three out of the four Year 7s have suffered from traumas due to the ugly robots ever since..... The other teachers and students were forced to take endless group pictures with giant Disney character statues at the entrance/exit. Also during Year 7 Paris trip 2009, he was encouraged to do the kissing test on the iPod. He proceeded to beat us students and get 'Playful.'
