A great step forward to take hunger out of the classroom, and a building block in the govs Opportunity Mission 👇

Welcome this, which will help take hunger out of the classroom. Current FSM threshold (household income less than £7,400 per year pre benefits) ludicrously low anyway! Great to see one of our ⁦The Sutton Trust⁩ ⁦policy priorities implemented. 👇 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

While today's announcement on free school meals is good news, this comes in the context of the UK having among the worst rates of child poverty in Europe. In the UK, 11% of 15-year-olds reported they had skipped a meal in 2022 because there wasn't enough money to buy food.

Agree. A good first step. But only a first step. 👇

Let’s hope the opportunity mission will be coming back into focus 👍

Important point. If people on low incomes are out of work it’s usually because there’s a barrier to them working, not because they’re “avoiding work” 👇
