Iain Schofield

I have been a Governor at Avondale since 2016, and Chair of Governors since 2019. I really enjoyed my time supporting school and find it very rewarding.

 

I have a wife, who works in children' mental health and two daughters, one in High School and the other in Primary School, and we live in Blackburn, although I was born and raised in Darwen.

 

My key priorities as Chair are to support school with improving the lives and future potential for all children in school, and to do so in a safe environment. When children leave Avondale, we want to see them blossom and enter High School with greater confidence.

 

My other priority is to the Staff at Avondale. They all do an exceptional job at supporting our children and sacrifice a lot to give them a memorable education. I therefore have a relentless focus to make sure that we look after all of our people; so that they enjoy their time at school, find their roles rewarding but also make sure that they don't have to sacrifice too much of their home life.
