Breakfast Club
Our Breakfast Club is run on both sites and benefit parents by fulfilling a childcare function if they need to start work earlier than school begins. They provide a fun, healthy and social start to the day. They start at 7:30am allowing flexibility to parents who need to commute.
The provisions also benefit our pupils by enabling children to arrive in plenty of time for the start of school and enjoying extra social time with peers.
Our pupils receive a healthy breakfast every day. It is a known fact that missing breakfast can affect energy levels, concentration, and a child’s ability to sit in a classroom and learn. Our breakfast clubs provide this vital healthy meal for our children ensuring parents can start their working day with the assurance their children are being nourished and cared for in a safe and happy environment.
Our provisions offer continuity and familiarity to the pupils as they are run by school staff, who know the children well and are able to continue to build positive relationships through eating socially together, following and demonstrating the Roding values and playing games.
The menu for Breakfast Club is in line with guidelines published by the schools food standards. This will ensure the pupils at Roding receive a healthy start to their day.
