As part of the fight against Covid-19, alongside the five other secondary schools within the North East Learning Trust, we have produced protective visors for NHS staff, pharmacies, care homes, district nurses, maternity units and care workers.

Using an approved design from Kitronic, our teachers used the school’s laser cutter to make the protective visors using polypropylene and acetate.

Mr Phillips, Mrs Mather, Mrs Pritchard and Mrs Gray have worked very hard making the PPE in a social-distancing-friendly way and contributed to surpassing the 3,200 Trust target. The team will be back in school next week to continue their fantastic efforts!

We are delighted to be able to play our part in the fight against the virus and we would like to thank the incredible frontline workers for their tireless efforts and dedication to keeping us safe.
