Mr Chadwick

Mr Chadwick is one of the all time greats of BRGS. He retired in 2006, having taught there for 78 years. He was - and still is - adored by his pupils. Currently the Upper Sixth have a petition to get him back. He left because his teaching was becoming too good. (Didn't the brill management replace him well!) His finest moment was Year 9 Camp 2005 when he broke his ankle. His mates included Mr Morris OBE, Doc Rob and Mr R Jackson.

Quotes

• (In biology cover lesson with a year 11 class)

Student: "Can I go to the toilet, Sir?" Chadders: "Is it for a medical reason?"

• (my personal favourite) "It's hard enough to teach this crap!"

• "Can we all come together please."

• "RHT - Read, Highlight, Tell me about"

• "I think I'd made a good Disc Jockey." (suddenly jolts down towards his desk and furiously pretends to spin two records very fast)

• "Come on!"

His game with Mr R Jackson

Mr Chadwick was immersed in a game with Mr Jackson whereby each made up stories about the other and reported them to their class as fact. This led to such classics as Mr Jackson's Thai Bride, and the instance where Mr Chadwick's class had to ask him whether he really was the Mayor of Ramsbottom. Others stories included that MC chadwich was a part time acid house DJ and the time the upper sixth bought him a present on what they thought was his birthday, but it was bogus as Mr Jackson had made it up.

Mr Chadwick and Mr. Jackson never seemed to speak with any other teachers; rumour has it they were plotting to take over the school.
