Peterborough pupils prepare for STEM success

The Amazon Peterborough team made a special visit to the school to donate £1,000, which will be used 
to fund new science equipment.

Speaking on the donation, Amazon’s Peterborough Site Leader, Martin Cox said: “British Science Week is a fantastic initiative and we are delighted to continue supporting schools across the UK.

“At Amazon, we know firsthand how important it is to encourage young people to be involved in STEM.

“Such skills open up a new world of future career 
possibilities, including many at Amazon where our 
engineers, IT specialists and other team members use the latest technology to provide innovative customer solutions.”

Mr Darren Ayling, Head teacher at The King’s (The Cathedral) School, added: “As technology continues to 
advance and play a critical role in today’s society, we must ensure our students have the STEM skillset to succeed in the careers of tomorrow.

“We’d like to say a huge thank you to the Amazon team for helping to better prepare our students for a bright future.”

The Kings (The Cathedral) School welcomed the 
donation during British Science Week as part of the company’s “Amazon in the Community” programme, whereby the company supports communities in and around where it operates in the UK.
