Five primary schools in Sutton have launched free breakfast clubs under a new initiative to enhance children's school experience and assist working parents. This scheme, part of a nationwide trial involving 750 schools, began on April 22 and will run until July, aiming to provide free, healthy meals to primary school children, alongside early morning childcare. This initiative targets disadvantaged communities, benefiting around 180,000 pupils, and is expected to expand to all state-funded schools eventually. The plan aims to alleviate pressures on families while ensuring children start the day right.
The initiative aims to provide primary school children with a free, healthy meal at the start of the school day, offering economic relief for working parents.
Bridget Phillipson emphasized that the breakfast clubs are crucial for providing support during economic pressures, allowing children to start their day with nutritious food.
