Breakfast Club Provision
Breakfast clubs can be an important way of supporting a whole school approach to ‘Eating Well’ and research consistently shows that having a nutritious breakfast is hugely beneficial for children’s health and learning.
Breakfast clubs, such as those already run by the Magic Breakfast programme have been shown to boost children’s reading, writing, and maths by an average of two months.
