Breakfast Clubs: Primary Education

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what her plan is for the next phase of free breakfast club provision in primary schools.

Answered by Stephen Morgan

The government is committed to delivering on its pledge to provide a free breakfast club in every state-funded school with primary-aged children. This will ensure every child, regardless of circumstance, has a supportive start to the school day.

From the start of the summer term, we have funded 750 schools to deliver a free breakfast club as early adopters.

We are currently working through the outcomes of the latest spending review and the departmental business planning processes. Further details will follow in due course, including the timing of national rollout and the details of funding and support for schools.
