Conclusion (the committee's words)
The new school breakfast clubs provide a key opportunity to introduce disadvantaged pupils to reading and books in a fun environment away from the pressures and stresses of learning. The Department must ensure that schools delivering the new breakfast clubs are encouraged to include books and reading activities as part of them and provide them with the guidance and support they need to do this. (Recommendation, Paragraph 120) 92
