Schools helping children start the day fed and ready to learn, Trust CEO says on BBC Radio London

Helping children start the school day fed, settled and ready to learn is an important way schools support families.

Speaking on BBC Radio London, Marino Charalambous, CEO of North Star Community Trust, spoke about the role school breakfast clubs play in helping children begin the day positively.

Breakfast clubs give children a chance to eat breakfast, spend time with friends and settle before lessons begin. This helps pupils arrive in class calm, focused and ready to learn.

At a time when many families are facing increased financial pressure, breakfast clubs provide an important way for schools to support children and families.

Marino said:

“Breakfast clubs help ensure children arrive in class settled, focused and ready to learn.”

Across North Star Community Trust, our schools work closely with families to make sure every child feels supported from the moment they arrive at school.
