  • Apply for Magic Breakfast provision

    If you have identified pupils at your school who would benefit from a nutritious breakfast, please read about our eligibility criteria, then we look forward to receiving your application

  • What we do

    Magic Breakfast provides nutritious breakfasts to children as fuel for learning and expert support to schools

  • The team

    Magic Breakfast's head office is in London (this office space is kindly lent to us by Pearson), but our School Partners are located all over England and Scotland so they can be close to the schools they work with.

  • What can a school expect from us?

    Magic Breakfast not only provides food aid to schools, but has an expert team to help identify and reach every hungry pupil, offer nutrition advice and training, give parents nutrition and food hygiene training, and advise on post-breakfast activities such as book clubs and exercise sessions.

  • Why we are needed

    As many as 1.8 million school age children are at risk of hunger in the UK

  • What does a magic breakfast look like?

    We provide schools with low sugar, low salt, low fat, nutritious breakfast food for children. A "magic" breakfast consists of porridge, cereal, specially made protein rich bagels and fresh fruit juice.

  • National School Breakfast Programme

    We are delighted to announce a new partnership with Family Action to deliver the Department for Education's National School Breakfast Programme

  • How Magic Breakfast began

    Magic Breakfast was founded by Carmel McConnell, MBE, in 2003, but she started buying and delivering breakfasts to five schools in the London borough of Hackney three years previously after hearing from headteachers there that many of their pupils couldn't concentrate until they had had their lunch as they were too hungry.

  • Impact of Magic Breakfast

    Teachers at our partner schools report that pupils who have eaten a nutritious "magic" breakfast have improved concentration, energy, alertness, punctuality, behaviour, social skills, health and educational attainment.

  • Ordering your food deliveries

    Schools in partnership with Magic Breakfast get food delivered regularly, straight to the door
