Breakfast club

We offer a daily Breakfast Club from 7.30am, open to all children who attend the academy. Children are cared for by our experienced team in a safe, welcoming environment.

A nutritious breakfast is provided, alongside a range of age-appropriate activities. Quieter options are also available, giving children time to relax and socialise before lessons begin.

Booking and payment

To enrol your child, a booking form must be completed and preferred sessions selected at the time of enrolment. Places must be booked and paid for in advance to ensure appropriate staffing levels and to guarantee availability. We will always endeavour to accommodate occasional or last-minute requests, although this cannot be guaranteed due to statutory staffing ratios.

All payments must be made through our online payment system, ParentPay, and attendance is not permitted without payment. Refunds cannot be issued for missed sessions, and any additional sessions must be paid for at the time of booking.

If you need help making a booking please call the academy office on 01623 479033 or send an email to office@samuelbarlowprimary-ac.org.uk.

Charges

The standard charge is £3.50 per child, per session, which includes breakfast if your child arrives before 8.15am. All booked sessions are charged regardless of absence.

Children who are eligible for Pupil Premium may attend the Breakfast Club free of charge, although bookings must still be made in advance.

Food and drink

A healthy breakfast is served each morning, including a choice of cereal and milk, toast, fresh fruit, diluted fruit squash, and water.

National School Breakfast Programme

We are proud to take part in the National School Breakfast Programme, funded by the Department for Education and delivered by Family Action.

Through this programme, bagels are available to all children as they arrive in their classrooms at the start of the school day. This initiative helps ensure that every child begins the day ready to learn and succeed.
