Breakfast Club

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and plays a part in paving the way for a high achieving and happy student. When a child misses breakfast in the morning, they become irritated, distracted and stressed, and are more prone to headaches and mood swings.

The benefits of a healthy breakfast for teenagers include:

• Improved concentration
• Better behaviour
• Healthier lifestyle
• Happier student

Additionally, Breakfast Club is a way to ensure students are in school on time and gives them the opportunity to interact with staff and their peers. The breakfast environment and culture have a major impact on attendance.

Did you know that:

• The average person sits down to breakfast at 7:31am during the week and 8:28am on the weekend.
• The world’s first breakfast cereal was created in 1862 and needed soaking overnight to be chewable.
• The world’s largest breakfast on record involved 27,854 people and took place in Germany on 29^th May 2005.
• The largest bowl of porridge weighed 865kg and was made in Tula, Russia on 10^th September 2011.
