Pupils at Livingstone Primary are being given a great start to the day, thanks to a school-wide breakfast initiative that has been running for the last two years.
With the support of the National Schools Breakfast programme, Livingstone offers a variety of cereal choices to pupils each morning, as well as preparing almost 800 bagels each week.
Headteacher Peter Thornes said: “We now have a dedicated team, known as Team Bagel, which includes students from Years 5 and 6, who arrive early every morning to ensure bagels are prepared and ready to be distributed to every class for the start of each school day.
“With breakfast now part of Livingstone’s morning routine, the feedback from pupils and members of staff is overwhelmingly positive, reporting that pupils are ready to learn and tend to remain focused for longer.”
With the National Schools Breakfast programme extending its provision well into 2024, it looks like Team Bagel are going to be kept pretty busy.
