The same week if my memory serves me right Mr Furlonger who was a brilliant English teacher sadly passed away after having a heart attack. Wasnt a great week to be at the school, thats for sure !!

Few more of my teachers that I remember.

Mr Szpack Deputy Head, nutter.
Mr Barnes (Geography) , who was brilliant. ..... and is still there!
Mr Lavin & Jordan , P.E.
Mr Connell (French), nice bloke.
Mr Ainsworth, (History) and deputy head, about 4ft 5, but fierce as anything.
Mrs Whelan (Maths), she was pretty cool, but a rubbish teacher I thought.
Mrs Cooper (chemistry), right wining old bint!
Mr Rigby (Biology), Strange bloke.
Mr Newton (Technology), Brilliant.
Mr Stobbs (Art), Who I believe sadly died of cancer a few years back?? Nice chap.
Mr Jagger (Art), Also sadly passed away a few years ago.
Miss Teale (Dance), what a nutter she was!
Mr Trickett (Deputy Head), who aparently is now the headteacher???
Mr. Ainsworth is retiring this year and Miss Teale married Mr. Stobbs and is still teaching at Rhyddings. Mr. Rigby left last year. I went to Rhyddings till 1982 and my kids went there later and they were taught by some of the teachers I had.
