Breakfast Club

Every day our school day starts with our free breakfast club. Children can relax with their peers and eat a healthy breakfast of their choice. Children and staff eat together and also play games such as cards, chess, reading etc to encourage positive interactions and social skills.

Why is it important to provide a healthy breakfast?

A healthy balanced breakfast not only sets our young people up for the day, it also helps encourage healthy eating habits during the school day and beyond. Research shows that young people who eat a healthy nourishing breakfast feel less tired and lethargic during the day. They are better able to concentrate, and behaviour is better, too, because they don’t have growly stomachs distracting them from their work. We all know that no one is at their best when they are hungry – or hangry, as the case may be. 

Every week our pupils will be given a breakfast menu.  Our children will be able to choose from a range of healthy breakfast options such as:

• Cereal/Porridge
• Variety of fruits/Fruit salad
• Yoghurts
• Honey/jams/marmalade
• pancakes
• Toast/crumpets/bagels
• Flap jacks/fruit bars
• Dried snacks

Pupil Breakfast Monitors/Buddies

We also have our pupil breakfast monitors who help staff prepare and serve the food. They also act as ‘breakfast buddies’ for pupils who need a little bit of extra support and kindness.

The daily structure of our breakfast club encourages routine, a varied and nourishing diet, a chance to socialise with peers and staff, and helps students to develop good habits that we hope will stick!
