The Stockwood Park and Chalk Hills Academies have both signed up to receive free breakfasts, under the National School Breakfast Programme, which is being delivered by the charities Family Action and Magic Breakfast.

As part of this government funded programme, schools can choose to offer children a healthy breakfast at school or at home.

Stockwood Park and Chalk Hills are inviting parents to collect breakfast packages (cereal, porridge and bagels) from their school reception areas on Wednesday, August 26, from 4pm, and Friday, August 28, from 12.30pm.

Any surplus stock will be shared with Luton foodbank and Go Dharmic, to help support the wider local community.
