The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the take up rate is amongst targeted pupils for free breakfast clubs.

Answered by Olivia Bailey

Free Breakfast Clubs are for all pupils to give children life chances and parents work choices. Through our free breakfast club early adopter schools, we have served more than 5 million meals, and we are expanding the programme by further funding an additional 2,000 schools this year, benefitting half a million more children.
