Breakfast Club

A good breakfast and some engaging activities are great ways to prepare children for the school day. At St. Mary’s we offer a breakfast club to all children where they can eat a healthy breakfast and participate in games and activities with other pupils before the start of the school day. The children have the option of cereal, toast (with honey, jam or marmite), fruit and a drink (orange, blackcurrant or water).
