Kellogg's has awarded Armley Park Primary School a grant to enhance its breakfast club provision and help feed children in the morning.
Armley Park was selected to receive this boost as Kellogg's announced that it is donating more money to support breakfast clubs than ever before.
Breakfast clubs help with everything from attendance and attainment, to alleviating hunger, and providing pre-school care.
Armley Park Primary School Headteacher, Emily Caine, said "We are so grateful to receive this generous donation. It will help us to continue to provide quality childcare at our breakfast club and get our children ready for the school day".
Kate Prince, corporate social responsibility manager at Kellogg's, said "We are proud to have spent over 20 years supporting so many schools across the U.K. We believe that 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".
Kellogg's has supported 4,000 school breakfast clubs with funds, food and training over the last 23 years - that's 70 million bowls of cereal to children all over the U.K. since 1998.
A big welcome back to all children and families returning to school today, and a big hello to all of the new children and families starting at Owlcotes schools today! Welcome back everyone, we hope you have a fantastic day!
A huge well done and thank you to all of the pupils, staff, parents/carers and every member of the Owlcotes schools community who have continued to be adaptable and so supportive throughout the year. We hope everyone enjoys a well deserved summer break!
