These face shields have gone to various destinations, including Stoke Mandeville Hospital, local care homes and the fire service.

Headteacher, Giles Scoble says: "I'd just like to say a huge thank you to our staff and parents for coming together at this time.

"If you are a local organisation in need of masks, please do get in touch on [email protected] so that we can get these to you."
