Primary school breakfast clubs provide an excellent start to the school day.
They aim to:
- provide a healthy nutritious meal.
- help children to be alert and ready to learn.
- encourage children to mix with their friends.
- improve attendance and performance throughout the day.
- reassure parents that their child is safe when dropped off in the morning.
All primary schools in North Lanarkshire operate a breakfast club.
Breakfast Club at Baird Memorial Primary School opens at 8.15am – children should enter the school through the gym hall door. Breakfast consists of cereal, milk and toast. This is free to pupils who are in Primary 1 to 5 and for pupils in Primary 6 to 7 who receive free school meals. For all other pupils the cost is £1.05 per day with a sliding scale for families of two at £1.55 per day and families of three at £1.90 per day.
