Mr Williamson

History

Mr Williamson recently 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!

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.

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.
