More Than Recruitment: Why We’re Serving Up Breakfast in Schools


At Bookmark, we believe in doing things differently.
We know that making a real impact in education goes far beyond filling vacancies. It’s about partnership. It’s about people. And sometimes, it’s about pastries!
What better way to start the week than with fresh croissants, great coffee, and even better company?
This week, we launched our new initiative, Breakfast by Bookmark, with a simple idea at its heart: elevating education, one breakfast at a time.
Our goal? To give back to the schools, colleges, and organisations we work with. To show up not just as recruiters, but as partners who genuinely care. We want the educators we support to feel valued, seen, and appreciated; not just when they have staffing needs, but always.
We kicked things off at Carlton Infant School, where the team arrived bright and early, transforming the conservatory into a warm and welcoming breakfast hub.
There were home-baked croissants, granola pots and mini jars of spreads (which, we’ll admit, stole the show). Coffee and tea were flowing, and more importantly, so were the conversations. It was a chance to slow down, connect, and spend quality time with the people who keep schools running day in and day out. No pressure. No pitches. Just time together.



Why We’re Doing This
It’s a free breakfast, yes – but it’s more than that. We live in a fast-paced world where instant results are often expected. But we know that true, lasting relationships are built through care and consistency.
It’s our way of saying thank you.
It’s a chance for educators to connect, chat, and recharge.
It’s about community. About support. About showing up.
Reminding staff that they’re not just clients in our system; they’re partners in a shared mission to support and elevate education.
We’re not just recruitment consultants; we’re part of the community. And this is our way of giving back – no strings attached.



This is just the beginning. We want Breakfast by Bookmark to become a regular feature in schools and colleges across the communities we serve.
- Is there a school that’s been under pressure lately?
- A college you’ve worked closely with who deserves a moment of appreciation?
- Even your child’s nursery or local school; could they use a morale boost?
Let us know. We’re ready, and we’d love to bring Breakfast by Bookmark to them.
We’re here to do more than recruit. We’re here to care, connect, and contribute. And yes, serve up a pretty decent granola pot, too.
Get in touch with our team today to find out more or to book a breakfast session.
Because sometimes, the smallest gestures make the biggest difference.
