On a great. By a great. #amreading

36% of the children in our schools live in poverty. That means they are likely hungry, unable to replace their uniform (or afford it at all), not going on the school trip, not having the extra exam tuition their mates get. Let's remember that. theguardian.com/society/2024/n…

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan’s Universal Free School Meals programme is having positive outcomes for our children - 35% enjoy school more & 31 per cent report have better mental health as well as healthier meals and more energy for learning. So proud to be part of this work.

Evaluation of Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan’s universal free school meals is very positive and is helping nearly 18,000 additional children in Enfield & Haringey alone. Families have less financial pressure, relationships with school improve, wellbeing and energy to learn is improving. (1/2)
