SCHOOLS in Droitwich are in with a chance of winning up to £1,500 as part of the Kellogg’s Breakfast Club Awards, which have just opened for entries.

The money, as well as a range of other prizes, is available to pre-school clubs, with one winning school receiving a £1,500 prize and runners up winning £500, as well as school uniforms and bundles of games being up for grabs.

Lindsay Graham, school food and health advisor said: “I am delighted to help judge the 2015 Breakfast Club Awards. The contribution of breakfast clubs to children’s education is tremendous. They offer a great start to the school day with a good breakfast which helps contribute to attendance, wellbeing, concentration and achievement, all being vital components of attainment.

“They support working parents, feed hungry children, offer opportunities to extend informal learning with activities and socialisation. I am really looking forward to seeing this year’s entries and would encourage schools and community groups to enter and share their stories about their breakfast clubs.”

Kellogg’s Breakfast Club Awards spokesperson Alison Last, added: “We’re pleased to announce the return of these awards. Not only do breakfast clubs provide children with a friendly and relaxed environment in the morning, but they also provide a lifeline for many parents who may not be able to work without the ability to drop their children off at school a little earlier.

“This year we’re asking schools to nominate their club for our Breakfast Club Awards, which hope to find the best clubs in the country.”
