Kellogg’s has awarded Trinity Church School in Radstock £1,000 to

enhance its breakfast club and help feed children and add additional learning in the morning.

Trinity was selected to receive this boost as Kellogg’s announced it is donating more money to support breakfast clubs than ever before as more and more schools struggle to find the budget to fund this service for their pupils.

Breakfast clubs help with everything from attendance and attainment to alleviating hunger and providing before school care. 68 per cent of teachers believe pupils would struggle to concentrate in class without their breakfast club, according to Kellogg’s research.

Natalie Jones, Deputy Head, said: “We are very grateful to receive this generous donation. We are planning to use this funding for an additional staff member to work with the children on their phonics and reading once they’ve had breakfast.”

Kate Prince, corporate social responsibility manager at Kellogg’s, said “We’re proud to have spent over twenty years supporting so many schools across the UK. We believe all children should have the opportunity to start the day with breakfast, and we know that staff, equipment and resources are just as important to clubs as the food itself.”

Kellogg’s has supported 4,000 school breakfast clubs with funds, food and training over the last 23 years – that’s 70 million bowls of cereal to children across the UK since 1998.
