Breakfast Clubs: Fylde

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many schools left the breakfast club early adopters scheme due to funding constraints in Fylde constituency prior to 24 February 2025.

Answered by Stephen Morgan

This government is clear on the impact that breakfast clubs can have to support children to arrive at school ready to learn. That is why we committed to introducing free breakfast clubs in every state-funded school with primary aged pupils.

The early adopter scheme has not yet started. We were delighted that over 3,000 schools applied to be early adopters. The list of the 750 schools selected was published on 24 February.

Early adopters will start delivering from the summer term, meaning we are bringing change now for pupils and parents in every corner of the country.
