The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many schools have a place on the breakfast clubs pilot programme.

Answered by Stephen Morgan

From summer term 2025, 750 state funded primary schools will be funded as early adopter schools to provide access to a free, universal breakfast club lasting at least 30 minutes that includes food.

The department aims to test and learn with as many different types of schools as possible.

On 24 February 2025, the department published the list of early adopter schools here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/breakfast-clubs-early-adopters-schools-in-the-scheme.
