Stranraer Academy has been crowned best Breakfast Club in Scotland.

The award recognises its continued efforts in supporting its pupils in the morning to ensure they have access to a filling breakfast.

Providing a welcoming start to the day for all pupils, the club offers a safe space for students whose parents start work early.

Plans are under way to also introduce a grab-and-go station outside the room to encourage more pupils to access breakfast.
