Breakfast Club Roll Out

• The Department for Education has urged all schools to become early adopters of the government’s new breakfast club programme.
• Up to 750 schools will be invited to take part in an “early adopter scheme” as part of the government’s pledge to fund free breakfast clubs in every primary school in England.
• All state schools with primary-aged children are eligible to apply.
• Early adopter schools will be selected “across different school types, sizes and geographical areas to ensure a wide representation”.
• Breakfast clubs must provide at least 30 minutes of free childcare before starting a school day and be open to all primary-age children on roll.
• Clubs must be provided free to parents and carers, regularly report data, and participate in an evaluation of the scheme “as requested”.
• The deadline is fast approaching and on 20.12.24 and can be accessed via link : Breakfast Clubs early adopter scheme - DFE Online Forms
