Overview

Magic Breakfast could help your school!

  • Do you have children arriving at school without having eaten breakfast?
  • Are you noticing the effects of hunger in the classroom?
  • Do you want to ensure every pupil has the right fuel for learning?

They are happy to consider applications from schools in the UK for their healthy breakfast provision and expert support.

Once a school has submitted an application for support, and they have checked whether they are eligible for their help, they will hold their details on file and contact them as soon as funding becomes available.

For a school in England to be eligible, at least 35% of pupils should be recorded as eligible for Pupil Premium. A Primary School in Scotland qualifies for Magic Breakfast support when at least 55% of pupils are in SIMD Deciles 1 to 4 and/or at least 35% are eligible for FSM. A Secondary School in Scotland qualifies for support when at least 40% of pupils are in SIMD Deciles 1 to 4.

They are researching the case for expanding to Northern Ireland and Wales so welcome applications from all UK schools in areas of disadvantage who have pupils at risk of hunger in the morning and for whom pupil hunger acts as a barrier to teaching.
