Free breakfast clubs programme

About the programme

Free breakfast clubs give children a soft start to the day, helping them feel ready to learn. They also support families by offering free and reliable childcare before the school day begins.

Schools taking part in the programme will receive funding to provide a free breakfast club for all pupils from reception to year 6. The programme is being rolled out nationally, with every state-funded primary school being required to offer a free breakfast club once roll out is complete.
