Schools in Southport could win £1,500 for
their breakfast club SCHOOLS
in Southport could win up to £1,500 and other great prizes for their
pre-school club by entering the national Breakfast Club Awards.
89% of schools in the North West have a Breakfast Club which gives
schoolchildren the opportunity to get something to eat in the morning so
they go into the classroom with a full tummy and ready to learn.
The Kellogg's Breakfast Club Awards recognises these great clubs that are
running every morning across the UK and the people that make them happen.
A specialist panel of experts has been hand picked to judge the awards and
winner and runners up will be announced via a web broadcast on 9 November,
by the star of Educating Yorkshire, Matt Burton.
Each winning school will receive £1,500 for its Breakfast Club, with runners
up winning £500 and the 2015 Breakfast Club Awards Grand Winner receiving
£2,000. Winners will also be invited to attend an awards ceremony in The
Houses of Parliament.
Tonnes of other prizes will be given away too including George ASDA school
uniforms and Hasbro Gaming Bundles for winners and runners up.
Lindsay Graham, School Food and Health Advisor said:- "I am delighted
to help judge the 2015 Breakfast Club Awards. The contribution of Breakfast
Clubs to children's education is tremendous. They offer a great start to the
school day with a good breakfast which helps contribute to attendance,
wellbeing, concentration and achievement, all being vital components of
attainment.
They support working parents, feed hungry children, offer opportunities to
extend informal learning with activities and socialisation. I am really
looking forward to seeing this year's entries and would encourage schools
and community groups to enter and share their stories about their Breakfast
Clubs."
Kellogg's Breakfast Club Awards spokesperson Alison Last said:- "We're
pleased to announce the return of these awards. Not only do Breakfast Clubs
provide children with a friendly and relaxed environment in the morning, but
they also provide a lifeline for many parents who may not be able to work
without the ability to drop their children off at school a little earlier.
This year we're asking schools to nominate their club for our Breakfast Club
Awards, which hope to find the best clubs in the Country."
Kellogg's supports 2,500 breakfast clubs across the UK with training, cereal
donations and funding so that schools can run a sustainable pre-school club.
