Dear Colleague,
The Chancellor announced (23.09.24) that up to 750 state funded schools with primary aged pupils will begin delivering free breakfast clubs from April 2025. Funding will allow these schools to run free breakfast clubs for their pupils in the summer term (April-July 2025) as part of a test and learn phase to inform delivery of a national rollout.

Schools that are interested to find out more about becoming an early adopter can sign up here to be notified as further information is available. Please do share this link via your networks.
We are committed to working with schools, childcare providers, local authorities and sector experts as part of the early adopters programme. We will be back in contact when further information about the programme and future engagement opportunities is available to share.
If you have any questions in the meantime, please email our stakeholder mailbox at breakfastclubs.earlyadopters@education.gov.uk. We would kindly ask individual schools to sign up for more info at this link.
