Free Breakfast Clubs

The Department for Education have introduced free breakfast clubs - 30-minute sessions before school where children get a free breakfast so they to start every day ready to learn.

The following schools offer Free Breakfast Clubs

Handale Primary, Dormanstown Primary, Lingdale Primary, Whitecliffe Primary, South Bank Primary, Chaloner Primary, Lockwood Primary, Skelton Primary, New Marske Primary, Overfields Primary.

Free breakfast clubs mean no child starts school hungry and will help set children up for the day by providing a nutritious breakfast as well as time with friends to enjoy activities such as reading and crafts. 

For parents, free breakfast clubs mean help with childcare at the start of the school day – at no extra costs. It means those parents can drop their children off half an hour earlier – helping parents get into work, giving them up to 95 additional hours back to juggle busy mornings, and saving working families up to £450 a year.

If your school has a free breakfast club, then your child will be eligible and able to go - every child will!

Schools that have joined the programme will contact families directly about how to sign up for the free breakfast club.

If you have specific questions about how the new free breakfast club programme will work in your child's school, including on applying and any deadlines for doing so, we recommend speaking directly with the school.
