Description

See 'Attachments' for a full description and further information.

The Department for Education will launch a tender in early 2017 to support the expansion of breakfast clubs in approximately 1,600 schools so that more pupils have a healthy start to their day. The programme will focus on supporting disadvantaged pupils families, schools and areas.
We want to explore the optimum approach to managing the delivery and providing on the ground support to set-up provision in schools. A single national provider or consortium could deliver the whole programme. We would also consider working with two providers or consortia, breaking the delivery down by geographical area, if this was deemed to result in more effective delivery.
The programme will need to identify and focus on schools and families who will benefit most from new or improved breakfast club provision. This could include targeting schools without a breakfast club and schools who have not previously received funding or support for this provision. It may also include a focus on schools with a high proportion of disadvantaged pupils, in particular those in deprived areas. School leadership and capacity will need to be considered in the selection of schools and support offered.
