Each year, we ask our partner schools about the biggest challenges they and the wider school community are facing, and how Magic Breakfast is making a difference for their pupils and families.

Schools told us that breakfast can make a big difference for pupils who come to school hungry. It gives them energy to learn and focus, helps them feel happier and calmer and enables them to do better at school.

Having breakfast at school makes a huge difference. It gives me the energy to get through tough classes and the chance to connect with friends before lessons start. It’s helped me feel more prepared and less stressed.”

This research was made possible by the partner schools who gave their time to respond and the generous support of players of People’s Postcode Lottery. We want to thank everyone for enabling us to shine a light on child morning hunger across the UK.
