“The breakfast club policy, if implemented successfully, is something which should do a great deal of good for children and families. Our concern all along has been that the inadequate levels of funding available meant this was going to be very difficult for schools to do in reality. It is reassuring that the government has now realised this, and increased funding rates accordingly. It’s important that this is kept under review as breakfast clubs are rolled out more widely, to ensure that schools have the support they need to set up and then run this provision in the long term.”
