Revealed: Local schools which will trial free breakfast clubs

The first local schools which will trial free breakfast clubs have been named.

From April, 750 primaries will become what’s described as ‘early adopters’ of the seven-million pound programme, before a national rollout.

Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson insists the clubs will help to break the link ‘between background and success’ – though some unions warn funding may fall short.
