Free Breakfast Club
The free breakfast club programme is a government initiative aimed at ensuring every state-funded primary school in England offers a free breakfast club to all pupils.
The free breakfast club programme provides all primary-aged pupils in participating state-funded schools in England with a nutritious breakfast before school, supporting learning, wellbeing, and families.
The programme is designed to help children start the day ready to learn, improve behaviour, attendance, and academic attainment, and support families with childcare and cost-of-living pressures . It also contributes to tackling poverty and breaking down barriers to educational success
