Free breakfast clubs to open at 750 schools
Free breakfast clubs are to launch at 750 schools across England next week but teachers have voiced concerns that government funding for the scheme will not meet the cost.
From Tuesday, thousands of parents can access half an hour of free morning childcare as part of the trial that will run to July, ahead of an expected national rollout.
But teaching unions have raised concerns the funding is too low.
Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said the move would help with “breaking down barriers to opportunity”.
Labour campaigned on a promise of free breakfast clubs in every English primary school and later tripled funding to £30m.
