The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she plans to extend free breakfast clubs beyond primary schools.

Answered by Olivia Bailey

The rollout of free breakfast clubs prioritises primary-aged children, as this is where the evidence of impact is strongest. A report published by the Education Endowment Foundation found that attainment improved in primary-aged children who attended a breakfast club, and teachers also marked an improvement in pupil behaviour.
