Tender Details

The free breakfast club programme is one of the Department for Education's flagship policies, central to the Government's mission to break down barriers to opportunity for every child. Once fully implemented, it will deliver a free breakfast club in every primary school in England, giving millions of children the chance to start the day supported and ready to learn.
Evidence shows that where schools run breakfast clubs, they report improvements to pupils' behaviour, attendance and attainment. The free breakfast club programme will mean every school, every child, and every family has the chance to receive those benefits.
Since April 2025, we have funded c.750 schools to offer a free breakfast club as early adopters, delivering 7 million meals so far. Following the success of the early adopters, we are moving to national rollout investing a further £80m into the programme to fund an additional c.2, 000 schools between April 2026 and March 2027. This will benefit around half a million more children. We invited schools with a 40% or higher Free School Meal (FSM) rate (or the most disadvantaged school in an area, whichever is lower) to apply to join the scheme in April 2026, getting the benefits to those who need them most, first. National rollout will then continue in September 2026, when more schools will open their free breakfast clubs, taking the total to c.3000 schools.
