Breakfast Club!! 24 Mar 2023 We currently run a ‘before school’ breakfast club. Please help support it!

Eynsham Community Primary School

PLEASE HELP SUPPORT OUR BREAKFAST CLUB!!

We currently run a before school ‘breakfast club’ for a group of our children who find the beginning of the school day a challenge. We offer children a safe, calm, start, along with a good breakfast served by our loyal staff.

We would like to appeal to the wider community, businesses, or individuals, who would like to support our Breakfast Club, by making an annual or one-off donation of £1500, to cover costs for food and staffing for one year. We would be very happy to mention your business or individuals in our fortnightly school newsletters.

Please see below, comments from one of our parents whose child attends the club, and the benefits to their son, and to the family as a whole.

The breakfast club allows us to carry out a ‘soft’ transition into the school day.  This reduces the anxiety and concerns that our child has, meaning that the morning routine can become a lot less stressful, for both child and parent. It helps by having a small supportive group that welcomes our son into the school. The children are able to build friendship and support amongst each other, outside their own year groups, helping them in everyday school relationships. It’s brilliant when they greet each other outside the door.

Not only do the children benefit but the parents see each other at drop off which allows an opportunity to hold supportive discussions and informal check ins. With a number of the child having additional needs it’s great to have understanding parents who go through the same experiences as mornings can be very difficult process to go through.

The club offers reassurance that your child will have an opportunity to start the day with breakfast which without breakfast club may not be a priority when going the process of getting your child safely to school.

The continuity the club offers gives our child the security of knowing how the day will start, in safe and familiar surrounds in a supportive environment.
