It is an early start at Carr Mill Primary School in St Helen’s as the Breakfast Bistro and Bagel Bar opens up. It is 8am and pupils arrive not just for breakfast, but to actually run the club themselves.
The bistro leaders are selected from years 5 and 6. They take orders, serve breakfast, and play games with the younger children.
Carr Mill is part of the National School Breakfast Club Programme. The NSBP targets schools in disadvantaged areas with more than 40% of pupils in bands A-F of the income deprivation index. Schools receive a subsidy of 75% for the costs and contribute the remaining 25%. This subsidy is currently available until July (DfE, 2022).
