‘Ooh Look! The LP Art and Design Show’ is a celebratory exhibition of creative talent taken from across Years 10 – Upper Sixth at Leighton Park School

Leighton Park’s humble PPE initiative to support NHS frontline staff tackling Covid-19 has quickly become a hub of pop up face shields factories involving 18 schools, one university and three commercial businesses across Berkshire!

Leighton Park School’s Design and Technology Department has connected with the Rotary Club of Reading Abbey, one of six Rotary Clubs in the Reading area, to support their scrubs project.

Leighton Park School in Reading, Berkshire, is committed to engagement with its local community.

The face shields initiative from Leighton Park’s partnership hub, Safer Vision, has discovered Covid-19 PPE can also be fun and friendly! With a recent flurry of orders from prep and primary schools preparing for the return of their pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 this week, the latest inspiration to hit the team in the DT workshop has been face shields toppers.

A schoolboy from Reading is going the distance for the NHS by riding from Reading to Milan on his stationary bike. Cycling entirely from his living room and covering a distance of 50km a day, he is on his way to raising £1,000 for NHS Charities Together!
