PPE visor production in BSGD D&T department.

Once lockdown happened and it became apparent that the NHS were struggling to equip staff with PPE, Miss Hincks gave Miss Langley permission to work in the D&T department to laser cut parts for face visors. By producing ‘kits’, Miss Langley was able to enlist a team of volunteers to carry out the visor assembling stage. By the end of the summer term 2020, 508 visors had been laser cut by the Bolton School Girls’ Division D&T department and assembled by a group of brilliant staff and student volunteers: Miss Langley, Mr Ball, Mrs Walsh, Mrs Worsley, Shreya Kamath, Maimoona Ganchi, Roxanne Asumu, and Jess and Amelia Crompton. These volunteers collected the visor kits from school and washed and assembled the visors at home. After making contact with a variety of local NHS and key worker situations in need of this type of PPE, visors were delivered by the volunteers and some very grateful messages came through to Miss Hincks and Miss Langley. Well done to all those involved, for volunteering your time and skills!
