Chris Rose was a fantastic head teacher to me as a child at Stivichall so much so that as I begun my early career in teaching a very rare vacancy came up at Stivichall and I jumped at the chance to apply! I had such fond memories of my time at Stivichall that I wanted to be a part of continuing this for others. I got the job and still teach at Stivichall now. I enjoyed learning from Chris as a teacher and when he retired I vowed to keep PE going as he did following his outstanding example. He was such an inspiration and will never be forgotten. Today was a beautiful celebration and farewell to Chris. I wish all his family and friends well.
