After teaching for 20 years in a secondary school, I arrived at QEP around 2006 and listened to readers in KS1.  Such is the persuasion and encouragement of staff, I became a Governor, then in 2008 took on the role of Chair and continue to do this.

It has been a pleasure to work with governors and staff during this time and to see developments and changes implemented. The staff never cease to amaze me with their effort, care and energy.

 Hi, just a little info about myself, Steve Hogg. I have been a parent governor for a number of years whilst my son, Joseph, was at the school. He has now gone off to Tuxford so I am continuing as a co-operative governor. My main  role is as a safegaurding governor, a role I also perform for Collingham Cricket Club as part of my duties as welfare officer.                  I have had a very long- term relationship with the school  as I was a pupil there many moons ago. My head of school was Dennis Bingham, the father of my lad's head of school, Jeremy Bingham. That was in the good old days of outside toilets and concrete surfacing below the climbing frames. From my own time and my sons time there I appreciate the fantastic foundation this school has given us to take on to secondary education and want to                maintain this for pupils in the future.

I am currently employed as a Fire Officer in Lincolnshire Fire and rescue where I have worked for 23 years.
