News in today: sadly, Mr Fyles has died. Many pupils will remember him and some may even remember his wife, Mrs Fyles, who worked in the school office.
He had been in hospital for a while then spent some time in a care home before being re-admitted to hospital where he passed away in the early hours of this morning.
Mr Fyles started teaching Geography and History at the school in 1967 but left in 1973 to do peripatetic work. He returned in 1976 to act as Deputy Head. Many will remember him managing the Children’s Fund and dealing with the weekly transport lists. Mr Fyles retired in 1993.
Update 31.10.16: Mr Fyles’ funeral will take place at 12pm on Friday 4 November at St Joseph’s Church on York Road in Birkdale.
