A Swindon primary school has received a donation of 300 back-to-school kits worth £4,500.

Seven Fields Primary School, a coeducational school based in Penhill, was gifted the kits by the town’s Amazon fulfilment centre.

The back-to-school kits, which included backpacks, stationery and toiletries, were packaged and delivered by the Amazon team to pupils in year five and their teachers.

Staff and pupils met the Amazon team who presented them with the kits ahead of the winter term.

Gill Young, from Seven Fields Primary School, added: "I’d like to thank David and the team at Amazon for this donation, which is a great boost for our pupils and their development as they move forward in the school term.

“It was a pleasure meeting the team when they arrived to deliver the kits – the pupils are delighted.”

David Tindal, General Manager at Amazon in Swindon, said: “At Amazon, we’re passionate about supporting the education and development of young people in our area.

“We are extremely proud to support Seven Fields Primary School with this donation and hope the pupils enjoy using the kits as they progress through the school year and beyond.”
