 We are delighted to offer a FREE Breakfast         provision in school for our children.

 The bagels are provided by the National   School Breakfast Programme and runs from   8:35-8:50 by the Chickens.

 The National School Breakfast Programme is   funded by the Department for Education and   run by Family Action to support schools in   England to provide children with a healthy   breakfast at the start of the school day.


 Family Action is committed to supporting child   development, and believe a healthy school   breakfast, without barrier or stigma, can set up   children to succeed and give them the very   best chance to learn.

 

In a normal school year, schools are open just over half the year (taking into account weekends and school holidays). This means even where breakfast is available within school, children are still having breakfast at home almost 50% of the time.

Below you will find tips, ideas, information, recipes, videos and quizzes to make breakfast time an easy part of your morning routine at home.
