Admission they lack policies that will address the problem, so instead park the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff???? 😶
Please let it be healthy breakfasts and not sugar loaded bowls.
>Labour’s education spokesperson Bridget Phillipson said breakfast clubs
across England would be funded by returning the top rate of income tax
to 45%.
The same funding that Reeves has said will boost the NHS? Returning the top rate of income tax will just return us to the status quo of a week ago. You can’t reinstate it and spend if ten times on other projects…
Of course I’m all for this policy, heck I think we should be providing free school meals regardless of income, but this is just poor messaging.
The fact this isn’t already the case is a damning indictment on us
Good. No child, however rich or poor their parents are, should start the day without healthy food.
Breakfast clubs are just win-win-win.
Its not expensive, it targets child poverty, improves education and helps parents work.
Breakfast means breakfast.
Get breakfast done.
All they need now is Starmer in a JCB knocking down a wall of coco-pops and the next election is in the bag.
I had this as a kid, if you went in half an hour early they let you make your own breakfast. Do they not already have this?
Extend it to their entire education not just primary. Why stop so soon
Labour need to steal more policy from Wales and Scotland and implement them in England.
I work at an inner city secondary school who started up a breakfast club this term. We’re sponsored by a couple of local businesses who provide bread, butter, jam, etc. and a little cash for other stuff. I believe it ends up costing the school around £1000/term total.
Since the beginning of term its grown from literally a handful to over 100 kids (out of 750 total) every morning. It’s cut down late arrivals and truancy, and a lot of our kids are choosing healthier options at lunch, rather than spend their allowance on snacks at breaktime.
