I have the privilege of being a Governor at Grendon.

I have worked in the educational sector for the past 10 years as Pastoral staff and have gained a wealth of skill and knowledge in school systems and procedures.

I became a school Governor as I believe every child as a right to an education and to reach their full potential while at school. I wanted to use my knowledge and experience that I have gained from my professional career to support Grendon as it continues to grow, develop and improve for all of our children.

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.

I am a self-employed mum of two, both my children have attended Grendon and both have benefited from the school's amazing pastoral support. Becoming a parent governor was my opportunity to give something back to the school that both my children have lived attending.
