Government invites schools to be free breakfast club ‘early adopters’

Government invites schools to be free breakfast club ‘early adopters’

29 November 2024  

Primary schools are invited to be among the first to offer free breakfast clubs as part of a government move to tackle food poverty.

Up to 750 early adopter settings will be funded to provide the clubs from April 2025, ahead of a universal rollout also aimed at lessening families' childcare costs.

Participating schools will be expected to deliver a free breakfast and "at least 30 minutes of free before school childcare, every day".

The move comes as thinktank the Education Policy Institute calls on the government to prioritise tackling food poverty in the early years, as well as considering automatic enrolment for free school meals.

New research by EPI published today (28 Nov) by EPI finds that children under five are 25% more likely to experience food poverty than older children, with nearly a quarter of households with children under four years experiencing food poverty in January 2024.  

The breakfast club application process closes on 20 December and successful schools will be contacted in January 2025.

In its autumn budget the government tripled investment in breakfast clubs to GBP33m for 2025/2026 to support early adopter schools as well as continue the National School Breakfast Programme, run by the charity Family Action.

"This is a landmark opportunity for schools to be in the vanguard of change, as we build back the foundations of an education system that breaks the link between children's background, and the opportunities they have in life," said education secretary Bridget Phillipson.  

"From helping with flexible working for families, to improving behaviour and attendance, the supportive start to the day that breakfast clubs provide will help drive high and rising standards for every child."
