Thank you for your leadership on Free School Meals, Sadiq Khan. We won hot, healthy school dinners for 500,000+ more children — because you helped show what’s possible by making the provision permanent in London. Leading by example matters. 👏🍽️

Proud to be part of the No Child Left Behind coalition as the Government has announced it is extending Free School Meals to half a million more children. Our next step? Ensuring every primary school child can learn and thrive with the roll out of #FreeSchoolMealsforAll

In today’s education news... unions could be asking their members who are inspectors to withdraw from working for Ofsted if they don’t delay the roll out of their new Nando’s style framework

Deputy Mayor Joanne McCartney joined campaigners last week to show her support for #FreeSchoolMealsForAll. London is leading the way—delivering over 70 million #FreeSchool Meals and proving what’s possible when political will meets public need. 🍽️💪

Huge congratulations to Amelia and Téa who were chosen by almost 9,000 school children to represent young people across the borough. Téa campaigned for #FreeSchoolMealsForAll and it's clear that young people are demanding our leaders take action. rochvalleyradio.com/news/local-new…

🕌 “It just aligns so much with our values.” Watch Dr. Naomi Green from Muslim Council of Britain explain the moral case for providing #FreeSchoolMealsForAll to ensure every child is nourished and cared for. 🌱

“There can be no doubt about it – Martyn Oliver has failed. Today’s announcement on Ofsted is a huge missed opportunity.” Hear from Daniel Kebede on why Bridget Phillipson needs to intervene before it’s too late to change course.

What a missed opportunity. The Nando’s style 1-5 grading scale Ofsted are rolling out is insulting – it’s not good for children or parents. The new system is not fit for purpose.

22,000+ strong. Parents, school staff, MPs + more all united in their call for #FreeSchoolMealsforAll. Keir Starmer, it’s over to you. Will you ensure all primary school children have access to a free, hot and healthy school dinner?

Ofsted’s new Nandos-style framework is little more than ‘high-level tinkering’ – it’s not the urgent reform we needed for a supportive, reliable system of inspection. Bridget Phillipson – this isn’t how you resolve the recruitment and retention crisis in schools, and it’s certainly

The NEU is proud to stand alongside 100+ organisations in calling for the government to fully scrap the two-child limit. Every child deserves the best start in life. By scrapping the limit the government can deliver a shift in children’s opportunities and the UK's potential.

The new Ofsted inspection system was changing right up until the week before it was implemented. This unreliable and ineffective new system won’t make things clearer for parents and does nothing to support the wellbeing of teachers or school leaders. We need a radical rethink

🔔BREAKING: 100 MILLION school dinners served since London launched #FreeSchoolMealsForAll. Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan made history two years ago, making London the first city in England to have Free School Meals for every primary school child. This is the future we want for every child.
