Four Luton schools get free breakfast clubs to give children ‘best start in life’
Pupils at four schools in Luton will get to go to free breakfast clubs as part of the Government’s plans to tackle the cost of living crisis and help parents juggle both work and family life.
Someries Infant School and Early Childhood Education Centre; Denbigh Primary School; Parklea Primary School and William Austin Junior will welcome pupils for special clubs before school starts and provide a free, healthy breakfast.
The schools are among 46 in the South East to join the programme in April.
The scheme means parents of children at the schools can drop them off earlier, giving them at least 30 minutes of free childcare.
Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said: “Free breakfast clubs are revolutionising morning routines up and down the country, becoming an essential part of modern-day life for working families.
"From settling a child into the school day to helping parents get to work, free breakfast clubs are giving every child the best start in life - delivering on our plan for national renewal.”
