FOI Request - Breakfast Provision In Schools

Request 101002684640

I would be very grateful if you could please tell me:

•            Do you fund school breakfast provision in your council area?
•            If so, can you please tell me the number of schools you provide for, and differentiate between the number of Primary, Secondary and Special Educational Needs (SEN) schools?
•            Do you partner with any other external organisations (i.e. charities, catering companies etc.) to deliver this? If so, can you tell me who you work with please?
•            Do you have any eligibility criteria for which schools you support?
•            Are breakfasts provided free of charge, or is there a cost?
•            What eligibility criteria do you use to determine which children are eligible for free school breakfasts?

I understand there is a capacity in the amount of information you can provide in one FOI, due to cost limits. If it is still feasible and does not go over the allocated time/cost, could you also please tell me:
•            What does your council’s breakfast model look like? If you could specify, I would be very grateful if you could tell me here how breakfasts are provided (i.e. grab and go; in the classroom; in the canteen before school starts; home packages etc.); during what times breakfasts are provided; and what foods are available at the breakfast clubs?
