Breakfast Clubs: Pilot Schemes

Asked by Ben Obese-JectyConservativeDepartment for EducationTabled Answered 25 June 2025UIN 58347

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many schools that initially applied for the breakfast clubs pilot scheme subsequently withdrew from that scheme.

Answered by Stephen Morgan

The department had over 3,000 schools apply to be part of the early adopter scheme. As expected there was some movement in the schools taking part as we finalised the list of 750 before the launch of the scheme in April, but such change was minimal.

From the start of this term, the department is funding free breakfast clubs in 750 early adopter schools across England. The list of schools taking part in the breakfast clubs early adopter scheme can be found here: www.gov.uk/government/publications/breakfast-clubs-early-adopters-schools-in-the-scheme.
