D&T Team Produce 1000+ Visors

We are incredibly proud of the hard work of our D&T department; Mrs Jermyn, Mrs Chan and Mr Garth, who produced more than 1,000 visors for local GP surgeries, hospitals, care homes, hospices and pharmacies from the very start of the Covid-19 pandemic. The visors were distributed directly and also via Redbridge resident and volunteer lead, Mr Ghosh.

Thank you Chigwell School, especially the D&T department! for supporting frontline NHS Services with masks which have been disseminated across three boroughs.

Utilising our D&T Facilities

At Chigwell, we are very fortunate to have sophisticated D&T facilities – inspiring a number of students to go on to study engineering. These facilities enabled us to support the provision of PPE and support our friends in the community who are working so hard on behalf of all of us.

Shout out to the amazing DT staff and Deputy head Mrs Savage @chigwellschool who made 17 visors for our front line staff over the weekend.
