Leicestershire school receives breakfast funding boost
Kellogg's have provided the school with a cash injection to help Foxfield Academy have a substantial breakfast club.
Foxfields Academy has been awarded £1,000 to enhance the breakfast experience.
Foxfields Academy in Blaby, Leicestershire has been awarded £1,000 to enhance the club and help feed children in the morning.
To celebrate 20 years of supporting school breakfast clubs, Kellogg’s has awarded the funds to Foxfields Academy, a Specialist all through school for SEMH pupils (Social, Emotional, Mental Health).
The school was selected to receive the boost after Kellogg’s announced they are to double their investment in Breakfast Clubs as more and more schools struggle to find the budget to fund this service for their pupils.
Breakfast Clubs help with everything from attendance and attainment to alleviating hunger and providing pre‐school care. 68 per cent of teachers believe pupils would struggle to concentrate in class without their Breakfast Club, according to Kellogg’s research.
James Ellis, Headteacher, said: “We were thrilled to receive this boost of funding for the school. Our Breakfast Club at Foxfields is about much more than food for our pupils, it’s a chance for them to get to know their teachers better and form close friendships with their peers. Huge thanks to Kellogg’s.”
Kate Prince, Corporate Social Responsibility manager, at Kellogg’s, said: “We’re proud to have spent 20 years supporting so many schools across the UK. We believe all children should have the opportunity to start the day with breakfast, and we know that equipment and resources are just as important to clubs as the food itself.”
