An Enfield primary school’s breakfast club has been named one of the best in the country.

Southbury Primary School was crowned ‘Best Breakfast Club in South England’ at the 2025 Kellogg’s Breakfast Club Awards, recognising its “outstanding work” in helping pupils start the school day “happy, healthy and ready to learn”.

The Kellogg’s Breakfast Club Awards celebrate the important role played of before-school clubs, and the dedicated staff who run them, in ensuring that children are fuelled for learning every morning.

Since 1998, cereal brand Kellogg’s has supported more than 5,000 breakfast clubs across the UK, providing grants, food and equipment to schools in some of the most disadvantaged communities.

Southbury Primary School’s breakfast club was picked by award judges for “creating a safe, welcoming and nurturing space where pupils can enjoy breakfast, take part in games, reading and daily exercise, and begin their day with confidence and focus”.

For many families, the club also provides vital childcare support that helps ease morning pressures.

The school plans to use its £1,000 prize to expand the breakfast club further, including creating a new breakfast club library, offering a wider range of fresh fruit, and hosting culturally diverse breakfast days.

Enfield North MP Feryal Clark said: “I’m delighted that Southbury Primary School in Enfield North has won the award for best breakfast club [in the south of England] at this year’s Kellogg’s Breakfast Club Awards – it’s an oat-standing achievement!

“The breakfast club is a brilliant example of the importance and positive role these clubs have on children and parents. Now more than ever, it’s vital we recognise the work of breakfast clubs, to ensure our young people start the day fuelled and ready to learn while also addressing the root cause of child poverty and food insecurity.”
