Infant School

Heather Avenue Breakfast Club

The  Breakfast Club is open to all pupils in the school.
The children have their breakfast in the kitchen classroom.
Breakfast is orange juice, cereal and toast.
The cost for each session is £4.50. Sessions can be booked online in advance and paid for via our school online booking system, SCOpay.

Working parents of Primary School aged children who are accessing before and after school childcare (also known as wraparound provision) can use Tax-Free Childcare or Universal Credit Childcare to help pay for Breakfast and After School childcare.

Tax-Free Childcare can be used by working families with children aged 0-11 years and earning under £100k and at least £167 per week, and who aren’t receiving Universal Credit or Tax Credits. For every £8 you pay into an online account, the government will add an extra £2, up to £2000 per child per year.

Universal Credit Childcare can be used by working families claiming Universal Credit with children under 17 years old. Up to 85% of eligible childcare costs can be reclaimed. Parents will need to speak to their work coach for more information.

The Breakfast Club is run by our current staff from 7:30am until 8:50am. Following this the children are escorted to their classes in readiness for the start of the school day.

 

 

Heather Avenue is also a participant of the National Breakfast Programme and is therefore committed to ensuring that no child starts the day too hungry to learn. Every child in school is provided with quarter of a bagel / fruit each morning as they come in to school. Click on the following link to find out more about the National School Breakfast Programme.
