We provide a daily Breakfast Club where pupils can enjoy a healthy breakfast in a friendly and supervised environment. We encourage children to use the Breakfast Club as a social opportunity, to chat, learn to share and co-operate, and get ready for the start of their school day.

We are committed to provided equal opportunities for play and participation and will ensure that your child will have a safe and happy time at the Breakfast Club.

We welcome feedback from children and parents/carers regarding the service we provide. The success of the club depends on the co-operation and sharing between all those involved. Parents should address any comments they wish to make to the School Business Manager or the Headteacher at the school by email office@stgeorgesportland.dorset.sch.uk

Aims of the Breakfast Club:

Nurture and to offer a safe environment for children to prepare for the school day.
Supporting Working Families: Offering care outside of regular school hours helps working parents/carers by providing a safe and supervised environment for their children.
Accessibility: Ensures that the Breakfast Club is easily accessible to all pupils. This will involve offering a number of discounted places to pupils in receipt of Pupil Premium funding.
Attendance: To improve school attendance.
Enhancing Learning Opportunities: We will use the Breakfast Club as an opportunity to teach pupils about nutrition, healthy eating habits, and the importance of starting the day with a balanced meal. Our Breakfast Club will include fun and educational activities and enrichment programs, which can supplement and reinforce the learning that takes place during the school day.
Financially Viable: Any money raised will be used to maintain and extend our high quality Breakfast Club provision and we will hopefully be able to meet your family's needs.
