Agree with PP about the logistical issues not having been thought through, and I've written similar on previous threads (work in school admin so see the challenges first hand).
It's a great idea. In theory. Should benefit disadvantaged children and families for whom life is difficult, chaotic and stressful. Children for whom life will probably always be hard, for whom the playing field will never be level, children who - with the best will in the world - are never going to have the life chances that others will have. In all honesty a child whose parents 'have never worked a day in their lives' or who manage to 'game the system', as some posters have described, or 'pick up their freebie vouchers early so they can go on holiday'..you know what, that child is still disadvantaged. They still have feckless parents making poor life choices and who are therefore poor role models. They will still never have the life chances others will have.
The idea of free wraparound should, in theory, ideally also benefit families who are functional and capable and setting a good example to their children but who are struggling for any number of reasons.
But. But. But.
No-one has thought through the logistics. Or the impact on schools who are already haemorrhaging staff.
Where will they take place? No school will have a hall big enough, and no teacher is going to want a breakfast club trashing their classroom (and yes they will get trashed).
Who will co-ordinate the food buying?
The food storage?
The day to day logistics?
The food service?
The cleaning up? (Ever seen a school dining hall after a typical lunch period? Believe me sometimes the mess needs to be seen to be believed).
And that's before you even try to find staff to actually run them, manage behaviour, deal with health and safety and safeguarding issues and so on....
Everyone WANTS wraparound care but no-one wants to WORK in wraparound care.
With all the good intentions in the world, this isn't going to work.
