Springfield pupils, with the support of staff from the Design and Technology Department, have been working hard to make face-shields for key workers over the last few days.  The school's laser cutter has been used to cut out the polypropylene used - alongside acetate - to make the design. 

Thirty face-shields were delivered to two local care homes yesterday by Mr Waites  - Cosham Court Nursing Home (pictured below) and Kinross House in Drayton.  Mr Waites, CFO for The De Curci Trust, commented, "Alison, the Manager at Kinross Care Home was delighted to receive the face-shields and was very impressed with the efforts of the team of staff and pupils at Springfield School. (She was also very impressed that I turned up to deliver them wearing PPE!).  Cosham Court Care Home were also delighted to receive our face-shields, and said they would be in use from today".

Pupils and staff are continuing to produce the face-shields to support the requests of local care homes.  We are proud to be able to contribute this support to the local community at this time.
