I had been invited to breakfast and it was wonderful to sit and talk to some of the children as they munched through their rice crispies, shreddies and toast washed down with drinks of milk and water. It's an incredibly popular breakfast club which provides wrap around care from 8am until 6pm everyday of the week. Gill Martin and her small team at the Kids Club are doing a great job.
I also had the chance to talk to Hazel Willis, headteacher at Green Lane, and to walk around this wonderful school with Hazel where we managed to catch the first proper 'Wake Up and Shake Up' session the school had done. The things that struck me about Hazel's school were the really talented learning team, the quality of the learning environment and the fabulous art work.
