If children start school calm and happy then it brings benefits all round. That's the philosophy for breakfast clubs at Chase Lane Primary School.
The school's 8 O'Clock Club was a runner-up in ContinYou's National Breakfast Club Award for improving emotional health and wellbeing. It was originally for Year 5 and 6 pupils referred by teachers or parents but has now expanded into two clubs open to all.
Sue Tremeer, lead welfare officer, and Julie Awde run the clubs for nine- and 10-year-olds where up to 15 children enjoy a healthy breakfast followed by games and activities.
