Breakfast Club is located in the Nutbeem Hall. Entry is via the main door to the school.

The session rate is £3.00 which includes a healthy breakfast provided by our catering company HC3S.

A timetable of activities, which varies daily, and includes board games, art and activities linked to current events in school e.g. World Language Day, Christmas and Divali. We encourage children to develop positive personal and social skills associated with eating together e.g. manners, passing cutlery or toppings, conversation skills, turn taking and sharing.

In addition, we encourage the children to develop healthy habits, including washing hands before eating.

The Breakfast Club is fully inclusive and open to all children who attend Norwood Primary School. We promote equal opportunities in line with Norwood Primary School’s policy. We will take all reasonable steps to enable any children with disabilities to attend.
