A well-fed child is a happy, healthy, and eager learner. Their grades improve, their attendance increases, and they are more likely to secure better jobs and have a brighter future. Whilst I am delighted that Mr. Khan understands this and has ensured all children in London have access to free school meals, many children across the country are still missing out and are left too hungry to learn. School Food Matters research starkly highlights the disparity between the experiences of children in London and those in Liverpool. I hope this is a wake-up call to decision-makers, mayors, and politicians to put child health at the top of their agenda.
