New deputy atCRGS


by Faiza Afzaal


MEET Mr Ian Lawson, the new deputy head at Clitheroe Royal Grammar School who is determined to push the school’s potential to new heights while main­


taining its long and rich tradition. Bom in Devon and brought up in Leeds,


Mr Lawson (pictured) decided he wanted to be a maths teacher when he was just 13 - much to the astonishment of his parents and friends. “I always enjoyed maths and music at


school, but a lot of my friends were sur­ prised that I wanted to become a maths teacher. They thought I would train as a music teacher.” Mr Lawson attended Sheffield Universi­


ty where he admitted working very hard to achieve his degree. “I wasn’t somebody who found the maths degree easy so when children struggle with the subject, I can level with them because I know exactly how they feel.” After his PGCE qualification, Mr Law­


son’s first teaching job was at King Edward VII Secondary School, Sheffield, where he worked for 13 years. For the first two years he taught maths


and then decided to go down the head of year route and concentrate on sixth form. Recalling the first time he walked into a


class full of A-level pupils, he said: “It was strange really because the students were aged between 16 and 18 and I was their teacher at 22! There was hardly any age difference between us.” His next move in 1997 was to Joseph


Rowntree School, in York, where he chan­ nelled all his energies into sixth form for six years. His hard work paid off and the pupil numbers increased significantly. Mr Lawson also taught as a deputy


headteacher in Leeds for four years before securing a post at CRGS. “Although I was brought up in York­


shire, my parents grew up in Lancashire and I am pleased to be working in the Rib- ble Valley, which is a gorgeous part of the country. Having lived and worked in York, a lot of people say there is no place nicer than the city, but I can proudly say that


■ the Ribble Valley is just as beautiful. “I would like to stress that as well as


being a deputy head, I’m still a teacher and it is important for me to continue being a teacher and have my own classes. “Sometimes the pressures of school lead­


ership mean that you cannot keep on top of teaching. I still enjoy teaching and want my own classroom as much as I did when I began my teaching career at 22.” He added: “I think Clitheroe Royal


Grammar School is an outstanding school. The pupils are so talented in so many ways and the school has a very long and rich tra­ dition.” Outside work Mr Lawson enjoys going


to the gym, playing the trumpet and is a basketball coach. (B270907/la)
