Clacks school earns title of best breakfast club

Clackmannanshire Secondary School Support service (CSSS) was awarded a £1000 cash prize for their morning meals scheme, which sees around 25 children attend before school.

Staff at the CSSS provide the pupils with a full breakfast each morning before they go on to start their day properly.

Julie-Anne Miller, head teacher at CSSS, said: “We are delighted to be awarded the best breakfast club in Scotland.

“Our club provides such important provision for our students – it gives pupils an opportunity to connect to their school community at the start of the day and prepares them for learning.

“We are thrilled!”

The school will spend its winnings on providing healthier snack options throughout the school year, especially as healthy foods tend to be more expensive.

Parents have praised the CSSS for their breakfast club, saying that it has helped reduce stress levels in the morning while trying to get the family ready for school.

Latest research from Kellogg’s found that nearly four in 10 teachers across the UK claim to see children coming to school hungry.

Chris Silcock, managing director of Kellogg’s UK and Ireland, said: “So many clubs across the UK deserve recognition and we are delighted to be able to acknowledge all the hard work and dedication breakfast club leaders, teachers and volunteers put into their club every day.

“It has been incredible to hear the innovation, entrepreneurship and care that goes into every breakfast club that has entered this year.”
