Look @DHS_LibraryNews and @EnglishDHS1 - maths and Shakespeare don't have to inhabit separate regions of the Venn diagram after all!!
Exciting news: here's the cover of my book about Shakespeare and maths, coming out in April. I spent the last two years researching it, which took me from Portsmouth to Keswick via Stratford-upon-Avon. The most fun I've ever had on a book project.

Look @DHS_LibraryNews and @EnglishDHS1 - maths and poetry can co-exist!
Excited to read this in my lessons tomorrow, particularly to my Year 10s as we've recently done surds so (hopefully!) they'll get it! Love this poem.
