An article by The Guardian has reported that one of the effects of Covid school closures is the detrimental impact on student’s exam results.
Children in England could face the worst exam results in decades and a lifetime of lower earnings, according to research that blames failures to tackle the academic and social legacies of school closures during Covid.
We are devastated to see this. Hunger in the exam hall worsens this impact. We all know what it’s like to feel hungry; you can’t concentrate, you’re moody and simple tasks feel difficult. Now imagine this, whilst taking your exam. This should be a moment where you feel like all your years of hard work have paid off, but instead you can’t focus.
This will be the reality for thousands of students this month. At Magic Breakfast, we won’t sit by and allow this to happen. That’s why we launched Fuel For Success, our 2-month long campaign during exam season, where we have partnered with restaurants who have added a £1 voluntary donation to the bill. Just £1 could provide 3 breakfasts for children and young people at risk of hunger. Find the closest participating restaurant near you!
