Mrs Young
About
As well as Mrs Young's general excitement about the future of the school and how dedicated to the good ship BRGS we all ought to be, she does her best to steer her year group through the choppy waters of life.
She is world-famous for pronouncing the word "one" as "wun", and a stage show based on this is opening in Bacup in 2008.
Quite an old fashioned teaching style which largely appears to be based on the idea that teaching only involves dictation. Her lessons are extremely boring and lack interaction. Despite this she does hold extensive knowledge on her subject matter and can convey this well.
She drives a large people carrier, which is quite contradictory to her beliefs on global warming and how we should all try and help the environment.
Her smile is well known, and her office is right in between two of her Years form rooms, which she seems to love.
