Happy Retirement, Mr Hart and Mrs Dewhurst!

Today we say a fond farewell to two much-valued members of the QEGS family as they begin their well-earned retirements.

Between them, Mr Hart and Mrs Dewhurst have dedicated an incredible 44 years of service to QEGS, making a lasting impact on generations of students and colleagues alike.

Everyone at QEGS will miss you both enormously. Thank you for your commitment, dedication and the countless contributions you have made to school life over the years.

Congratulations and thank you for everything.

Congratulations to the incredible Patrice Lawrence MBE on her appointment as the new Waterstones Children’s Laureate 2026-2028.

Patrice’s laureateship will focus on the role stories can play in helping children find their place in the world, working with communities across the UK to explore how sharing stories can connect us, support our wellbeing and foster positive relationships.

Through her dedication to empowering children, young people and adults with diverse experiences and from diverse backgrounds to tell their stories, the National Literacy Trust has seen firsthand how Patrice’s advocacy can change life stories through her support of its work in schools, communities and the criminal justice system.

In the National Year of Reading 2026, Patrice’s ambition to “create a national conversation that champions the benefits of shared reading and sociable reading experiences” will further fuel the campaign as it continues to galvanise volunteers, communities, schools and partners to inspire the nation to discover the joy of reading and embed it in everyday life.

We’d also like to say a huge thank you to the outgoing Waterstones Children’s Laureate Frank Cottrell-Boyce, who is also a National Year of Reading ambassador, for his tireless work to champion the importance of reading for children’s wellbeing, happiness and life chances, particularly in the early years where these foundations are crucially built.
