About

The Department for Education is seeking industry partners to support the Free Breakfast Club Programme for Academic Year 26/27, expanding a flagship policy to deliver a free breakfast club in every primary school in England so pupils can start the day supported and ready to learn. Since April 2025 the programme has funded about 750 early-adopter schools, delivering 7 million meals, and the Department is investing a further £80m to fund roughly 2,000 additional schools between April 2026 and March 2027 (with national rollout continuing in September 2026 to around 3,000 total schools). Schools funded by the programme deliver a 30-minute morning club, and the Department seeks to build on successful early-adopter partnerships — including four offers from national supermarkets and charities made available since November 2025 — by scaling industry collaboration to maximise support and impact for participating schools.
