Speaker: Professor Greta Defeyter, Northumbria University
The Department for Education (DfE) has recently announced a new school breakfast club programme that will be rolled out across all state-funded primary schools in England. The government’s objective is for the new national breakfast club programme to build on existing school provision and contribute to the full wraparound childcare offer, with a guarantee of 30 minutes free childcare and a free breakfast for pupils, immediately preceding the start of the school day. In this webinar, Prof Defeyter will present the learning outcomes from a series of co-designed workshops involving key stakeholders and teaching staff who deliver school breakfast clubs, as well as parents and pupils. The aim of these co-designed workshops was to co-produce a new programme framework that informs planning, implementation, and delivery of DfE’s new school breakfast programme. The results will help meet the needs of schools, parents, and pupils at both a national and local level and provide added value for wellbeing and education. This presentation will end by showing that different models of school breakfast and childcare delivery can be consolidated into a high level, overarching national policy framework that has been underpinned by research and practice.
The talk will be followed by an online Q&A session.
