The Council actively supports and subsidises the provision of Early Start Clubs within our Primary Schools. The aim of the Early Start Club is to provide a low cost meal at the start of the school day and this underpins our commitment to health and well-being.  Early Start Clubs provide other benefits including: positive effect on pupils’ concentration and performance throughout the day; helping to improve pupil attendance and punctuality, and can lead to better social interaction between pupils.
