We run a free Breakfast Club before school every day, providing free breakfast and childcare. 

Breakfast Club is open daily from 7:50am, and our specialist Resource Base Breakfast Club from from 8am. 

Why is our breakfast club so special?

St. Benedict’s Breakfast Club is a grassroots initiative, founded, and run by school staff, who are passionate to see children have the best start to the day.   We are now a DfE Champion Free Breakfast Club school, supporting the DfE with the national roll out of free breakfast clubs for all schools.

What do our children think?

‘It is important because you can eat breakfast, do some activities and be at school on time’

‘We get to learn about our health. We have time to talk to our friends and play with therm. We play lots of games’

‘You can even make new friends’
