Breakfast Club

East Dene Primary School Breakfast Club

We offer a safe, caring & friendly environment for children before school.

Early Adopter Programme

East Dene Primary School is thrilled to be selected as an Early Adopter school for the Department for Education’s (DfE) Breakfast Club pilot. As part of the government’s Plan for Change, the school will be among the first 750 in England to offer free, daily breakfast clubs from April 2025. This initiative aims to support working families by saving them up to £450 per year while ensuring children start the day ready to learn. The programme will also provide at least 30 minutes of free childcare every morning, helping parents balance work and family life.

East Dene Primary is proud to help shape this landmark policy and looks forward to seeing the positive impact on its pupils and the wider community.

A Warm Welcome

School staff will welcome children into breakfast club from 8am onwards. Staff will be there to offer support and to help serve breakfast as well as organise games and activities. Children in Foundation 2 – Year 6 can arrive at school from 8am for a healthy breakfast.

A Healthy Start

Children who eat breakfast concentrate and perform better during the morning than children who skip breakfast.
