Merton Bank Primary School

Breakfast Club

'It's been the best day ever it's like a party in breakfast club.' - Y1 pupil

What our pupils at Merton Bank say about breakfast club!

'We all help each other. The older children play with us in Year 1. We make new friends and all play together.'

'My favourite day is Friday. Mrs Malone does new things every Friday. We have done 'Play your cards right, bingo and musical statues.'

'It's great for Year 6, half of the class meet up together at Breakfast Club'

IMPACT

Breakfast Club has helped our PA (persistently absent) children get into school. Our PA figures have reduced!

As Fridays were our lowest attending days at Merton Bank. So, we make Fridays a big deal at Breakfast Club.

Every Friday is themed and children lead this. Children make posters which are displayed around school to entice more children to come along.

Magic Breakfast

We are excited to announce that Merton Bank have teamed up with ‘Magic Breakfast’ for the ‘National School Breakfast Programme’ initiative. It is our aim to provide every child at Merton Bank with a healthy, satisfying breakfast before the school day begins. All children will be offered a bagel as they enter school, five days a week, absolutely free! These bagels will replace our former toast provision at break-time and we feel that enjoying breakfast before school starts will ensure that all children are ready to learn as soon as they enter their classrooms. This scheme will be running in addition to our wonderful breakfast club.

If you wish to know more about the Magic Breakfast programme please follow the link below or speak to your child’s class teacher.

The breakfast club will operate during term time only- the breakfast club will not run on the days that the school is closed.
If you have any questions please speak to a member of the school office or telephone 01744 22104.
