Schools that are getting more cash for breakfast clubs than others

Breakfast clubs at some schools in Preston are going to get a cash boost. Preston City Council announced support for the services after having almost £80,000 it had left over in its budget.

Of the 70 schools in Preston, just 20 responded to the council’s survey – and only two were initially interested in taking up the offer of monetary support. Some may have been deterred by the fact that the cash would be a one-off payment – not to be repeated annually – because it was coming from a budgetary underspend.Five schools requested being put in touch with one of the nationwide school breakfast schemes in operation or other local community food providers in the city.

According to a report recently presented to the city council’s cabinet – which approved the use of the underspend from the 2022/23 community champions grant – breakfast club provision in Preston varies from school to school. Some establishments offer the service to all pupils, while others take a “very small, targeted approach”, the document stated.
