A good breakfast can improve pupils’ results in the tests. But new estimates suggest up to 500,000 children still go to lessons hungry.
Every weekday, a free breakfast club runs for an hour from 8am at the Forest Academy primary school in Kendray. On a Wednesday morning, a few days before the beginning of Sats exams, 140 children – almost two-thirds of the school – ate a breakfast of fruit, juice, cereal and bagels. The offer is open to all, so there is no stigma. On Fridays there is a “Friday Feast”, something cooked – baked beans, spaghetti hoops or porridge – a celebration of the week’s efforts by pupils, 60% of whom are on free school meals.
