Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what is the funding allocation per child for primary school breakfast clubs.

Funding rates vary depending on uptake and pupil characteristics, for example by free school meal eligibility. All early adopter schools will receive £500 to cover initial set-up costs and a lump sum of at least £1,000 a term, to cover fixed costs such as staffing. An average school with 50% take-up of the early adopter scheme would receive around £23,000 for a full year. The purpose of the early adopter scheme is to test and learn, and the department will work closely with schools to gather evidence on funding levels in advance of national rollout.
