Mr Scudamore
Mr Scudamore was without doubt one of the strangest but best teacher I have ever seen. He had a strange habit of limping (rumoured to have shot himself in the foot to get out of fighting in the war, I can't confirm or deny it) the corridor frightening small children who had been sent outside. His lessons has involved screaming directly in people faces to judge the reaction, throwing books from different distances to prove some sort of point.

In his latter years he made a habit of falling asleep in lessons. One time he was stood asleep for about 10 minutes and we all pretended not to notice when he woke up. He also started to forget which class we were (they were three different sets of psychology and he was teaching them all) and so he had a habit of repeating entire lessons, or missing them out entirely.

Sadly his power was diminshing when I left, only the sixth-formers respect him now and the hardfaced little brats that used to be scared of him don't appear to be bothered. Its a shame as the stuff he tought seems to have sunk in.


We also had a physics teacher who used to be a marine. He was about 7ft, with a polished bald head. Sent a small kid out because he was supposed to standing up (I can't remember why) and he thought he was sitting down. He wasn't, he was a short arse and was standing up. Harsh, but hilarious to everyone else.
