Amazon delivers a nice surprise

An Orton Longueville secondary school has received a £1,000 donation from the team at the Amazon fulfilment centre in Fletton.

Nene Park Academy, on Oundle Road, which teaches children aged between 11-18 years old, used the donation to fund the school’s science fair.

Speaking about the visit, Amazon Associate Anthony Bourne said: “The science fair was particularly impressive, and we’re delighted to be able to contribute and encourage more pupils to become involved in science in whatever way we can.”

Nicola Walker, Key Stage 3 Science Coordinator at Nene Park Academy, added: “So many of our pupils have a real passion for science, so the donation will go a long way to supporting their endeavours. We’d like to say a big thank you to the Amazon team for this kind gesture.”

The donation forms part of the “Amazon in the Community” programme whereby the company supports the communities around its operating locations across the UK.
