Why should I send my child to Breakfast Club?

Breakfast Clubs develop friendships and positive interaction with peers in social situations. They teach about healthy eating and snacks with friends. They teach children about routines around meal times and provide opportunities for playing in a calm and settled environment before their learning begins.

For some children it is the positive start to the day they need to ensure they are in school on time and have had a healthy breakfast before a day of learning begins.

For parents it is one less thing to worry about if you know your child is having breakfast provided for them at school.

Where does Breakfast Club take place?

Every morning Breakfast Club takes place in our Community Hub

It is  open from 07.35 each morning and chidlren are taken to their classrooms at 8.45 ready for their morning registration tasks.

Children must arrive by 8.15am if they wish to enjoy something to eat.

Please sign your child in on the Inventry screen as you arrive – this is the Breakfast Club register and tells us that your child is here.

All children must be signed in on Inventry at arrival at school by an adult.

Anyone arriving without an adult may lose their place at breakfast club.

Who runs breakfast club?
