Which local schools will be running the Government's new breakfast clubs

The Government has said that the programme will put up to £450 a year back in parents’ pockets.

Schools in Leicestershire and Warwickshire have been confirmed as some of the first to be a part of the Government's free breakfast clubs.

750 schools have been picked as early adopters.

All primary-aged children in early adopter schools will have access to a free breakfast and at least 30 minutes of free childcare, every day.

The Government has said that the programme will put up to £450 a year back in parents’ pockets.

Schools were chosen from across England to ensure the scheme tests and learns from a variety of locations, including those that do not currently run a breakfast club, and all will receive funding to cover food and staffing costs.

Education Secretary, Bridget Phillipson, said: "Free breakfast clubs sit right at the heart of our Plan for Change, breaking the link between background and success for families all over the country.   

"Breakfast clubs can have a transformative impact on the lives of children, feeding hungry tummies and fuelling hungry minds, so every child begins the day ready to learn. 

"Alongside our plans to roll out school-based nurseries and get thousands more children school-ready, this government is delivering the reforms needed to give every child, wherever they grow up, the best start in life."
