A NEWQUAY primary school has been named as one of the first schools in the country that will provide a free daily breakfast club.

Trenance Learning Academy is among 750 schools who offer "healthy, varied and nutritious breakfasts" in schools before class as part of a pilot scheme starting in April ahead of a planned England-wide roll-out.

The government says more than a third of schools in the pilot scheme are in deprived areas.

Labour campaigned on a promise of free breakfast clubs in every English primary school and later tripled funding to £30m.

Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson sees the free clubs in all primary schools as vital to breaking "the unfair link between background and success" for students.
