Labour will provide free school breakfast clubs for all primary school pupils if it wins the next election, at a cost of £365 million.
Bridget Phillipson, the shadow education secretary, will announce tomorrow that the “fully funded” scheme will be rolled out to every primary school in England.
She said it would be the “first step on the road to a modern childcare system” and would “drive up standards in maths, reading, and writing” while also taking pressure off parents.
Many schools already provide breakfast clubs, either from their own budgets or with food provided through the government’s national school breakfast scheme.
