“I am proud of the contribution of school breakfast clubs and applaud Beancross Primary School for its hard work.”

The Kellogg’s Breakfast Club Awards champion “people and activities, from inspirational volunteers to invaluable extra learning sessions”.

The aim of this year’s Kellogg’s Breakfast Club Awards is to recognise schools all over the UK for the role they have played to educate and safeguard children throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.

Kate Prince, of Kellogg’s, said: “In 2020, schools went above and beyond to ensure children had the fuel they needed to learn.
