School to pilot breakfast club

Christ Church C of E VC Primary School in Hanham will be among the first to open one of the government’s new free breakfast clubs.

Headteacher Neil McKellar-Turner said: “Being part of the first wave of schools to pilot the funded breakfast club model was really appealing to us as our vision of Nurture-Grow-Flourish is built upon ensuing that every member of our school community is enabled to thrive within school.  We look forward to contributing to the future shape of the free breakfast club programme over the coming terms and enabling many more children to receive a positive start to the school day.”

Local Labour MP Dan Norris, visited to  find out more. He said: “Thanks to the children from the Pupil Leadership Team for showing me round. I look forward to visiting again when the club is up and running.”
