Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

York Hungry Minds (YHM) has funded pilot free school breakfasts at Burton Green Primary School and Fishergate Primary. Following the success of these pilots a further 10 schools have shown interest in delivering a targeted offer for free school breakfasts. The additional schools submitted a full expression of interest, with three-year costs, considered at the Children Services and Education Directorate Management Team. All schools considered were deemed appropriate with a request that one school change (lower) their funding model to ensure it was of good value. It was agreed to recommend all the schools for 3-year funding to the York Hungry Minds Steering Group subject to funds being available. It was also agreed to recommend the original pilots for a further three-year funding. No funding is required from the council and this decision was final following confirmation of available funding at the YHM Steering Group.

Decision: Approved All expressions of interest as outlined subject to available funding.
