Breakfast at Bedfont
We are delighted to offer a FREE Breakfast provision in school for our children.
The breakfast, that is provided by the National School Breakfast Programme, runs every day at the start of the day and offers all children a portion of bagel as they come into school.
The National School Breakfast Programme is funded by the Department for Education and run by Family Action to support schools in England to provide children with a healthy breakfast at the start of the school day.
Family Action is committed to supporting child development, and believe a healthy school breakfast, without barrier or stigma, can set up children to succeed and give them the very best chance to learn.
Feedback from our children and parents has been fantastic!
"The bagels mean I have something to eat in the morning - I don'thave time at home so I always grab a bagel when I get here then I don't get hungry." (Year 5 pupil feedback)
"I do have breakfast at home most days, but I love bagels so I always grab a piece when I get into school!" (Y5 pupil feedback)
"It is reassuring to know that if a child doesn't get a chance to have breakfast before they leave for school, the school provides something for them to give them the energy for the morning." (parent feedback)
In a normal school year, schools are open just over half the year (taking into account weekends and school holidays). This means even where breakfast is available within school, children are still having breakfast at home almost 50% of the time. Below you will find tips, ideas, information, recipes, videos and quizzes to make breakfast time an easy part of your morning routine at home.
