Hunger for Learning reports on an important piece of work undertaken by the Child Poverty Action Group. It provides significant data about the experiences of schools which have provided breakfast programmes and about what is required to run these programmes effectively to meet the needs of their students and school communities. It identifies both the advantages of those programmes and the requirements to ensure that all children start the school day adequately nourished. On the basis of the data gathered and the experiences of the national and international initiatives, CPAG is recommending here that breakfast programmes be started in all decile 1 and 2 primary and intermediate schools, supported by a dedicated budget allocation and local business and community partnerships.
