Decision Maker: Corporate Director of Children and Education
Decision status: Decision Made
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.
