Highfields’ efforts to create PPE for local healthcare workers has been celebrated in the local media.
During the Easter holiday, students of key workers helped staff to manufacture face shields, which were distributed to care home workers, medical staff and community midwives across the West Midlands.
Among those to benefit from the face shields were Barton & Needwood House Nursing Homes and Pinfold Health Centre. The school also donated 50 pairs of safety spectacles from its Science laboratories, which have been delivered to the community midwife team in Wolverhampton.
The positive story has now been featured in the Express & Star (pictured).
Mr Tony Dean, Chemistry teacher and Deputy Headteacher, who arranged the donation, said: “We will all do whatever we can to support workers in the NHS and the care system.”
