Roger Stokes – Vice Chair and Trustee

Roger Stokes

My career before retirement was as a Church of England priest in a variety of roles, mostly in different parishes but also some hospital and prison chaplaincy. I have always been committed to the principle of children getting the best state-funded education possible, which is partly why I did not become a teacher as I knew I would not be good at it. I have developed experience as a Governor in seven schools over the years and also chair the Bedford Borough Schools Forum.
