TWO staff from a Weston school have made 50 face masks to help medical workers at a Highbridge GP surgery.

Angelos Markoutsas, principal of Priory Community School Academy and head of design and design and technology David Clay, spent four hours working to answer a call from Highbridge Medical Centre for face masks.

The pair cut visors to shape and used their school equipment to finish them off before delivering them to the surgery.

It came two days after they and Worle Community School Academy delivered hundreds of boxes of goggles to Weston General Hospital and care home and The King Alfred School Academy took goggles theirs to Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton.

Angelos said: “We were asked by the local surgery if we could help out. We were delighted to assist and so we made 50 and would be happy to make more.

“Our school is at the centre of the community and this is the very least we can do to help our wonderful NHS.”

Neville Coles, executive principal of The Priory Learning Trust, said: "This is simply wonderful thinking by David and Angelos.

“Amid all the chaos at this current time I want to say publicly how lucky we are to have such dedicated people in all our schools and academies across the region - all staff working now in our schools are stars and working their socks off to support our NHS and keep some semblance of normality.”
