Sadiq Khan has awarded £750,000 to 15 schools to offer free activities during the summer holidays when education standards are known to drop and young people can be led astray.

DfE analyses shows that children eligible for Free School Meals are 23 per cent less likely to be in sustained employment at the age of 27, compared to their peers.

Supporting the provision of Key Stages 1-3 PSHE learning, the programme of activities has been designed to teach students about the world of politics, debating and current issues.

The funding will support projects that work in partnership with a range of key sectors, such as education, local government, health and social services, to tackle serious violence.

£2million of government funding has been released to allow thousands of families to benefit from free healthy meals and activities in the summer holidays.

The £7.7million Curriculum Fund has been launched by School Standards Minister Nick Gibb.

The number of days teachers expect to work over the holidays has increased from six days five years ago to an expected eight days this year.
