Notice Information

Notice Title

CON_26954 Breakfast Clubs Support Offer

Notice Description

Procured range of advisers with different specialisms who will use their expertise and knowledge to deliver tailored support and advice to help primary schools overcome challenges to delivery on the breakfast club early adopters programme. This is to ensure we are able to deliver on the aims of the Early Adopter Breakfast Club programme of up to 750 schools delivering a universal breakfast club of at least 30mins with food from April 2025, as committed to by the Secretary of State. Schools are likely to face a range of delivery challenges including relating to workforce and estates which we anticipate, for those schools where these issues are particularly difficult, will require bespoke support.
