* Philip David Price started in Form 1A at ABGS at the beginning of the summer term 1958. His family had arrived in Aberdare from Carmarthen where Philip attended Queen Elizabeth Grammar School.
Following the departure of T.R. James in December 1957, Philip’s father David W. Price commenced his duties as head of the mathematics department shortly after Philip arrived. Tragically, on 5th September 1958 Philip was killed in a road accident.
His father stayed in post at ABGS until 1972. His mother Mrs Elizabeth Price, lectured on the pre-nursing course at the Aberdare College of Further Education.
Philip had two sisters: Mary Christine Price and Eleanor Jean Price. Christine followed in her father’s footsteps gaining at A level in 1961, a distinction in pure maths, with other passes in applied maths and physics. The younger sister, Jean, gained the senior open scholarship to study Biology at UCW Aberystwyth in 1967. She studied Chemistry, Botany and Zoology at A level gaining As in the biological subjects.
