Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate her Department has made of the cost of providing free breakfast clubs in primary schools in each financial year to 2028-29.

The department will fund schools to provide the new breakfast clubs.

The department published its funding methodology alongside guidance for early adopters on 16 January, and it has worked closely with schools on these rates to ensure they were sufficient for the ask.

Funding for national rollout is subject to the next spending review.

Funding rates for schools as part of the national roll out will be informed by learning from early adopters.
