🍳Saint Mary’s Catholic Primary School 🥣Ark Brunel Primary Academy 🍞Saint Francis of Assisi Primary School 🍌Hallfield Primary School I'm so happy that four of our brilliant local schools have brand new government-backed breakfast clubs opening this week. We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Whether we're at school or at work, eating a healthy and balanced breakfast sets us up for the day and helps to fuel our brain for a busy day ahead. Saint Mary's, Ark Brunel, Saint Francis of Assisi and Hallfield are all part of the latest round of free breakfast clubs brought to you by this Labour Government - saving parents up to £450 while giving them more time to get to work.

St Joseph's Catholic Academy in Matlock now has a free breakfast club 🍴 This brings the number of children in Derbyshire Dales benefiting from free breakfast clubs to 859. This Labour Government is committed to delivering a free breakfast club in every primary school.
