Free school breakfast clubs: All of the North West primary schools adopting new programme from next month

• Labour wants to introduce free school breakfast clubs in every primary school in England
• It has chosen 750 schools as ‘early adopters’ to trial the programme
• These include more than 100 schools across the North West
• Free school breakfasts, and half an hour of free childcare, will be available at many of them from next month

From Cheshire to Cumbria, Merseyside to Manchester, pupils at dozens of North West primary schools will soon be able to benefit from free breakfasts when they arrive at school.

The Labour Government plans to roll out free school breakfast clubs in every state primary school in England, one of a slew of school-focused policies included in the party’s extensive pre-election education portfolio. In late February, it announced the 750 primary schools across England that had been selected as early adopters of the new programme.

This means that from as soon as the start of the 2025 summer term, which will begin in April, primary-aged pupils at these schools will be able to access a free breakfast and at least 30 minutes of free childcare each day - in a bid to help support parents travelling to work by allowing them to drop their children off half an hour earlier.

Schools will be offering healthy, varied and nutritious breakfasts, with the Government’s examples including wheat bisks, porridge, fresh fruit, and yoghurt. Many of the chosen schools were also well placed to host morning activities, like arts and crafts, educational puzzles, reading and more, it continued.

Included amongst the early adopters are about 105 primary schools across the North West. Here are all of the ones that will soon be rolling out free school breakfasts, sorted by council area - minus those with no early adopter schools listed, like Blackpool and Trafford:
