Help the Yorkshire Evening Post celebrate our teachers and classroom heroes

The YEP is celebrating teachers and classroom heroes and we need your help, primary school leavers.

If you're leaving primary school and heading to secondary school this summer we want to hear from you.

Teachers really have been on the frontline amid the coronavirus pandemic so this year we are organising a special Thank You Teacher 2020 supplement to praise the hard work of those who have supported families across Leeds during this unprecedented time.

We want to thank those who have helped prepare children across our city who are making the leap to secondary school, and we need your help to celebrate their hard work and dedication.
