Fantastic work from our foundation year 11 students this week, who have just finished their study of all the shape transformations.
Well done to Jamie, Seb, Joe, Jess and Tom for getting all their reflections and rotations correct to find the hidden word!⭐️

Today I turn 30 YEARS OLD, which means it’s been 14 YEARS since I was on #EducatingYorkshire. Incredibly, I’m now the SAME AGE Mr Burton was when he changed my life. As I say goodbye to my 20s, I dedicate this post to the life-changing teachers who never gave up on me. Thank you
