What’s for breakfast in your home?

Thursday 26 November 2015

Porridge? Cereal? An egg and toast?

It’s Health Week and a timely reminder about the importance of enjoying a healthy breakfast before school.

A new study has revealed that primary pupils who eat breakfast are up to twice as likely to do well at school as those who do not.

In particular, the research showed a strong link between a healthy breakfast – such as cereal, bread, dairy products or fruit – and doing well at school.

The study of around 5,000 pupils was led by a team at Cardiff University and looked at performance in Key Stage 2 teacher assessments.
