CHRIST Church CE Primary School, Padgate has been gifted more than 300 backpacks filled with a book, water bottle, pens, pencils and more as part of Amazon’s “Packed with Purpose” community initiative.
There’s enough for every child to take one home and use as their school bag, saving parents money and giving every pupil the best start to the school year.
Christ Church will continue to work in partnership with Amazon volunteers who will also be running follow-on activities in school, including:
• Reading buddies and story time sessions
• Careers Day — an insight into working in technology and logistics
• Digital literacy workshops
• STEM activity sessions
• School grounds and playground clean-up
Headteacher Mrs Katrina Kirkham said: ‘On behalf of everyone at Christ Church CE Primary School, I want to extend a huge thank you to Amazon for their incredible generosity through the Packed with Purpose initiative.
“This gift will make a real difference to our families, easing the financial pressure of the new school year and ensuring every pupil starts the term feeling equipped, confident and excited to learn. We are also incredibly grateful for the continued partnership with Amazon volunteers, and we’re looking forward to the fantastic programme of follow-on activities they’ll be bringing into our school. These experiences will enrich our curriculum, broaden our children’s horizons, and show them the exciting possibilities that lie ahead of them.
“ This partnership means a great deal to our whole school community, and we are excited to see it grow’.
