Thank you for your interest in our Alexandra Breakfast Club.

Object of the club

To provide a safe clean and happy environment for a calm and purposeful start to the school day.

To provide a healthy breakfast.

• A daily club that runs from 7.45am to 9am during term time and teaching days.
• A safe and nurturing environment where children can come to relax and have fun.
• A club that welcomes and celebrates difference and diversity.
• A club where every child can shine and learn how to keep healthy and stay safe.

What do we eat?

Breakfast is served at 8am so that the children have the opportunity to eat together in a relaxed and informal way. The children can self-select from a number of healthy breakfast cereals. In addition, toast is served with a choice of jams and spreads. Fresh fruit is also available. Water is provided to drink. We encourage the children to self-manage their breakfast preparation, with adults there to supervise where necessary. 

We would like all children to bring a toothbrush and toothpaste to clean their teeth after breakfast. This is part of our daily routine and children are encouraged to do this.

The Day

The Alexandra children are dropped by a member of the BCteam to there class at 8.50am.
