Kellogg’s selects school as Best Breakfast Club finalists
A school has been shortlisted as a finalist for the Best Breakfast Club in London as part of Kellogg’s annual Breakfast Club Awards.
Winterbourne Junior Girls’ School in Winterbourne Road, Thornton Heath, has been selected to take part in the final that offers a £1,000 prize and an invitation to the House of Commons where the celebratory event is held.
A specialist panel of judges will assess the 48 shortlisted entries across the UK and the winners will be announced in April.
Around 60 children attend Winterbourne Junior Girls’ School Breakfast club every morning before school.
The club offers a filling breakfast so parents are able to drop off their children early and not leave them outside the school gates without a good start to the day.
Mrs Berkeley-Agyepong, Headteacher from Winterbourne Junior Girls’ School said: “We are really excited and incredibly proud to be shortlisted in this year’s Kellogg’s Breakfast Club Awards.
“Writing our entry gave us a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the fantastic children who attend every morning, not to mention the hard-working staff.”
Recent research from Kellogg’s found nearly four in 10 teachers across the UK claim to see children coming to school hungry every day.
Heather Murphy, Kellogg’s corporate social responsibility manager for the UK, said: “Breakfast clubs like Winterbourne Junior Girls’ School Breakfast club play a vital role in society.”
