To ask the Scottish Government how it plans to ensure that schools can maintain individual flexibility while delivering universal breakfast clubs in all primary and special schools.
The Scottish Government is committed to delivering a universal breakfast club offer for primary school age children by August 2027.
Many primary schools across Scotland already deliver breakfast offers using a range of delivery models. Work is underway with delivery stakeholders to assess existing models, explore how these can be expanded and enhanced, and identify how best to establish provision where none currently exists. This work is informing national delivery plans including recognising the importance of elements of local flexibility for individual schools.
