My name is Stuart Baker. I am very proud to be a governor, representing the community at Grendon School. It is a privilege to be part of a fantastic team, ensuring children are safe in a positive learning environment.

My grandson attends Grendon School. I wanted to be governor because I was so impressed by the commitment of the staff and the polite, friendly and happy attitude of the children. It is clear everyone is working hard to be the best they can. As governors we will support the staff to make continuous improvement for the school to make it even more rewarding for the children.

I finished work a couple of years ago after a career in chemical engineering, local government and the Environment Agency. I am passionate about the environment, interested in science and technology and a keen gardener. I relax by listening to all sorts of music and reading.

I will use my experience, enthusiasm and commitment to help the school be the best it can. My aim is to provide an environment where children can grow, develop and attain their full potential. To appreciate the community, learn about the wider world and provide a strong foundation for their future.
