Magic Breakfast Partner School Survey 2021

The results of our annual partner school survey paint a shocking picture of poverty in our school communities. It is reassuring to see the positive impact our breakfast provision has been continuing to have during the pandemic.

What we do

Magic Breakfast provides nutritious breakfasts to children as fuel for learning and expert support to schools
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 a selection from porridge, cereal, bagels, beanz and fresh fruit juice (where school food regulations allow).
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

Prior to the pandemic, 1.7 million children in the UK were living with food insecurity. This number is, sadly, likely to have grown because of Covid-19.
National School Breakfast Programme

How Magic Breakfast began

Magic Breakfast was founded by Carmel McConnell, MBE, who started buying and delivering breakfasts to five schools in the London borough of Hackney after hearing from headteachers there that many of their pupils were too hungry to learn.
