We used the survey tool, TeacherTapp, and asked over 10,000 teachers across England for their views on the government’s planned breakfast provision for English primary schools.
The results show overwhelming backing from both primary and secondary school teachers for the policy and for primary school children and their parents and carers in England, teachers feel this policy will deliver tangible benefits including improved emotional and mental well-being, better physical health and by removing hunger as a barrier to learning.
Magic Breakfast has been campaigning for, and providing, school breakfast for over 20 years, so we are cautiously optimistic about the planned provision promised by the new government in English primary schools. We have been consistently clear on the benefits of supporting children with a daily school breakfast and the value it delivers for teachers, parents and schools. I am pleased to see that most teachers share these views.”
