Good to join Paul Brand on LBC to talk school breakfasts & highlight need for schools to be enabled/supported to adopt a variety of models, not just clubs. It will maximise funds & impact for pupils. 80% of Magic Breakfast schools offer clubs, 86% offer >1 model of provision

See one of these other models in practice, beyond traditional breakfast clubs, this classroom provision for SEND pupils in Oldham brings it to life and shows what schools create when allowed to do what’s best for their pupils and context. 🧡 👉🏼 youtu.be/IW7myL0JIow

Glad to join BBC Breakfast to talk about benefits of free school breakfasts as Department for Education says 750 schools starting pilot. Magic Breakfast looks forward to supporting some schools on the scheme & sharing learnings so benefits are realised & no child is #TooHungryToLearn.

Not only are beans a great nutritious choice, they're also a warm welcome to school in these chilly months. Ask your Engagement Partner about adding beans to your school's breakfast menu. #NoChildTooHungryToLearn #SchoolBreakfasts #WinterWarmers

We're pleased to see these recommendations after Lindsey MacDonald (she/her) presented evidence to the committee last month. It is absolutely vital that the Children's Wellbeing and School's Bill meets the needs of #SEND students. This must include supporting mixed models of delivery beyond

A brilliant two days in Edinburgh with Magic Breakfast board members, colleagues, & visiting partner schools. Lots learnt, lots achieved, lots to do! A highlight for me was visiting Craigroyston High School, speaking with students who deliver their school’s breakfast provision.

Brilliant breakfast club visit this morning with Emma Lewell MP to Magic Breakfast partner school The Beacon Centre. Thanks to the staff, pupils & Eddie (🐶) for welcoming us so warmly. A school providing an inclusive soft start to the day with free, universal breakfasts.

This is fantastic news for children and families across England. Liberal Democrats have long championed extending free school meals to all those in poverty. This is a victory for campaigners. I hope Govt will now look at auto-enrolling ALL eligible pupils bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

A positive step toward ensuring no child or young person is #TooHungryToLearn. Huge congratulations to everyone who has been pushing for this. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
