Policy & Guidance
Magic Breakfast
Our school has signed up to receive free healthy breakfast food as part of the Covid response offer, under the National School Breakfast Programme (NSBP), which is being delivered by the charities Family Action and Magic Breakfast.
As part of this government funded programme, schools can choose to offer children a healthy breakfast at school or at home. Our plan is to offer breakfast packs which will be available for children to take home until things are settled at school. We shall then be offering bagels as children arrive at school.
The benefits of a healthy breakfast include children being settled and ready to learn at the start of the day.
