Breakfast Clubs
(asked on 27th February 2025) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask His Majesty's Government how many primary schools in England have no breakfast club provision; and what they believe are the main reasons for this.
This question was answered on 26th March 2025
The government is committed to introducing free breakfast clubs in every state-funded school with primary-aged pupils. According to the 2022 School and College Panel, an estimated 22% of primary schools have no provision at all before school, and the remaining 78% have some provision. However, provision is usually charged for, or has limitations on, the number of places available. This figure will shortly be updated to reflect changes in provision since 2022.
