Contrary to the more popular opinion of him on here, I found him to be quick tempered, abbrasive and bullying. When I was 11 years old (and I wa small 11 year old to) he threw a gcse text book in my face full pelt for talking (admittedly I shouldn't have been talking but still a little extreme wouldn't you say?) He always seemed to target a very small percentage of pupils, that way he kept his 'anger venting techniques' below radar. Personally I feel sorry for his daughter.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07143694998669604895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-33739169943394630342008-03-04T13:53:00.000+00:002008-03-04T13:53:00.000+00:00My name is Amy Grove, and i was taught by Mr Aldri...My name is Amy Grove, and i was taught by Mr Aldrige during my G.C.S.E's, he's one of the most down to earth, honest, caring and hard working teachers i have ever met, and i think that maybe his daughter should stop being such a spolit little girl!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-34213523785469337982007-09-08T18:06:00.000+00:002007-09-08T18:06:00.000+00:00Since it is a State School it can be served with a...Since it is a State School it can be served with a Freedom of Information Request to furnish the names of Governors<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/mr_aldridge/signatures.html" REL="nofollow">Petition</A><BR/><BR/><I>I was a former pupil at Olchfa School and was taught by Mr Aldrige - he was a fantastic teacher and he should be commended for his years of teaching and treated with the respect - rather than dismissed as a no body.</I><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=392229&in_page_id=1770" REL="nofollow">Olchfa</A><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2001/09/07/nedu207.xml" REL="nofollow">Olchfa 2</A><BR/><BR/><BR/>Roderic Ashley:<BR/>Proprietor of Ashley Associates and Partner in CATS (Consultancy and Training Services).<BR/>Consultant to a large number of public sector and private sector bodies.<BR/>Council Member BBC Wales; Honorary Lecturer University of Wales Swansea; Fellow of Royal Society of Arts; Chair of Governors, Olchfa Comprehensive School, Committee Member, RSA; Trustee, International Education and Resource Network.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Roderic Ashley (Swansea) is married with two adult daughters and is a Partner in CATS consultancy.
