A spokesman said: “The Peterborough School has this week donated various items from the School’s science department, such as goggles, disposable gloves, aprons and lab coats, to local hospitals and community groups to support those in the frontline within the NHS with additional protective items.

“Several teachers at the School are also using School sewing machines to make scrubs for healthcare workers which will be donated shortly. The School are continually looking at ways to give back to the local community, and are remaining open over the Easter holidays to continue to support Key Workers with childcare supervision.”
