My fondest memory of Mr Rice, aside from that generous and warming smile, was of Tuesday and Thursday afternoons in the long jump pit, where he was a fantastic coach and a source of great encouragement. It was a pleasure to be coached by him and I only wish I had been taught by him more regularly; I was quite jealous of others who had him for Economics. And contrary to my fears, Mr Rice remained really cool when he became Deputy Head! He connected so well with us as pupils and was so highly regarded. Rest in peace Mr Rice.
