Why partner with Magic Breakfast?
Breakfast is a simple, cost-effective solution to morning hunger. It has been continuously proven to positively impact educational attainment, concentration, focus and behaviour of all pupils in the classroom.
Food is delivered directly to each school, and our Magic Menu is specifically designed to encourage healthy food habits. Children are empowered to make choices and the offering introduces them to a wide variety of nutritious options.
Our engagement partners work pro-actively with schools to help them facilitate a hunger-focused, barrier-free and stigma-free breakfast provision. Uptake, feedback and insight is provided regularly to our local authority partners, along with an annual school survey across your area, keeping you up to date with the impact of our work together.
Magic Breakfast has formed a number of partnerships with local authorities. Together we are working to make sure that pupils in their areas are able to start the school year with breakfast to fuel their learning, growth and wellbeing. We are looking to develop new partnerships to help maximise impact and ensure that no child starts their day hungry.
More than just a great start to the day
Having breakfast at school makes a big impact across a child’s education. It’s not just a great start to the day. For pupils experiencing socio-economic disadvantage it has been continuously proven to positively impact educational attainment, concentration, focus and behaviour of all pupils in the classroom.
Improved GCSE results
Improved literacy and numeracy
Attendance
Children in secondary school who had breakfast, achieve on average two GCSEs higher than children who rarely eat breakfast.
Providing free, nutritious breakfast boosts children’s reading, writing and maths by an average of two months’ progress compared to pupils in schools with no breakfast.
Attendance increases in schools offering breakfast, with 26 fewer half-days of absence per year in a class of 30. It also reduces late arrivals.
Cognitive function
Behaviour
Return on investment
Tasks requiring attention, executive function, and memory are carried out more reliably when children eat breakfast.
In schools with breakfast, pupil behaviour improves as well as the classroom environment.
Every £1 invested in school breakfasts can generate over £50 for the economy in the future.
Magic Breakfast’s values about having really hunger-focussed provision and being able to target children who were vulnerable to food insecurity was really important to us, as well as their vision of having no child too hungry to learn. And Magic Breakfast brough that, as well as being able to provide food and bring a huge amount of experience to this space.”
