Over more than two years and with the support of the National Schools Breakfast programme, the whole school breakfast initiative at Livingstone Primary has gone from strength to strength. As well as offering a variety of cereal, almost 800 bagels are prepared 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.”
As the National Schools Breakfast programme is extending provision well into 2024, it looks like Whole School Breakfast at Livingstone Primary is here to stay.”
