Missing out on food has negative short-term and long-term consequences for children’s cognition and attainment, with the greatest impact on those who are most disadvantaged. Breakfast. nutritious food to children so they start the school day ready to learn.
Students skip breakfast, which can affect their cognition and school performance. And while these negative impacts on tasks that are more demanding or involve working memory can
affect all children, the picture is significantly worse for those who are already poorly nourished. They are more adversely affected by skipping breakfast than their peers, and there are long-term effects on their cognition. Lack of food for disadvantaged students therefore contributes to the attainment gap – the gap in academic performance between economically
disadvantaged students and their peers.

Are breakfast a solution?
Before schools were closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, school-run breakfast were one way of getting a meal to disadvantaged children before the school day. A typical
breakfast involve inviting parents to drop their child off at
school up to an hour early, to eat a meal provided by the school
before lessons begin. Some schools offer free meals for all
pupils, some schools charge due to a lack of funding, and some
schools offer free meals just for the most disadvantaged
students.
