A donation of 90 pairs of high-quality safety goggles has been delivered to ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Academy Danum by Arco Doncaster, a leading local provider of personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety footwear, gloves, and essential workplace gear.

The significant PPE donation is already being put to use across multiple departments within the academy, including Design & Technology, Engineering, Art, and Science. The equipment ensures that students can engage in practical, hands-on learning with the highest standards of eye protection.

The impact of the donation is particularly evident in the Engineering department. Year 12 T-Level Engineering students have already begun using the goggles while operating industrial machinery, such as milling machines and lathes, in the academy’s specialist workshop. This equipment allows students to mirror the safety protocols found in professional engineering environments.

Aidy Hall, Engineering Lead at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Academy Danum, said:

"We would like to say a huge thank you to Arco for their generous donation. We really value our links with organisations in the local area and are always looking to work with local companies, especially within the engineering field, as part of the T-Level Engineering qualification. Providing our students with industry-standard equipment is vital for their development and safety."

³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Academy Danum remains committed to forging strong partnerships with Doncaster-based businesses. These collaborations are essential in bridging the gap between education and industry, providing students with the resources and insights needed to succeed in their future careers. The school already has several partnerships with local businesses, helping pupils gain work experience, and hope to develop this further when it begins delivering its newest T Level offerings in Education and Early Years.

Companies interested in partnering with the academy’s T-Level programmes or other vocational subjects are encouraged to get in touch.
