Breakfast Clubs

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she plans to maintain current levels of funding in real terms for secondary school breakfast clubs in the national school breakfast club programme.

Answered by Stephen Morgan

There are over 2,600 schools currently participating in the national schools breakfast programme (NSBP), which enables schools to purchase breakfast food at 25% of the cost, with 75% of the cost of food and delivery provided by government.

We have confirmed funding to support schools, including secondary schools, currently on the NSBP, and schools on the scheme will continue to receive the same level of funding and support already available to them until at least March 2026.

Decisions about future funding for breakfast clubs and the NSBP will be taken as part of the next phase of the spending review.
