National School Breakfast Programme
About this service
Applications to the NSBP are now closed.
The NSBP provides support to schools on the programme to run a successful and affordable school breakfast provision until the end of the 2025/2026 academic year. Schools on the programme have 40% or more children in IDACI bands A-F.
We are committed to supporting child development, and believe that a healthy school breakfast, without barrier or stigma, can set up children to succeed and give them the very best chance to learn.
More Information
All schools on the programme receive:
- A 75% subsidy for breakfast club provision, meaning you pay just 25% of the cost of food and delivery.
- A knowledgeable school support team who will be on hand to provide remote advice and support to help you get the most from your breakfast provision.
- An online portal enabling you to place, amend and cancel your orders at a time to suit you .
- Good practice sharing opportunities, resources and the opportunity to learn from a national network of schools.
- The opportunity to enhance parental engagement on healthy eating and the importance of having a nutritious breakfast each morning.
The Impact of the National School Breakfast Programme:
Breakfast at home
In a normal school year, schools are open just over half the year (taking into account weekends and school holidays). This means even where breakfast is available within school, children are still having breakfast at home almost 50% of the time.
In this section you will find, tips, ideas, information, recipes, videos and quizzes to make breakfast time an easy part of your morning routine.
