The DfE has published new guidance for early adopters of the free breakfast clubs scheme (the new breakfast club offer). Benefits of the scheme should include:
- Free universal breakfast clubs give children a supportive start to the school day, ensuring they are ready to learn and make the most of the opportunities schools offer.
- Schools that offer breakfast clubs report improvements in behaviour, attendance and academic attainment.
- These are benefits that support children to achieve and thrive, while supporting teachers and school staff in their work
- Breakfast clubs also support families financially by reducing the costs of living.
