The Bishop wrote:That school breakfast idea looks good but the reality is that many children, precisely the ones who'll benefit, are late for school - not their fault. You can blame the parents if you like but if the proposal is to benefit children then free breakfasts aren't the answer if they're not their to eat it.
Indeed Your Grace I live two doors from a pre school where children are expected to be there 0850 hours, cars screech to a halt outside my drum any time up to 0930 hours. The same applies to parents staring at their phone on the way to Vale View school well after kick off time.
Moving on let us not be fooled about the reason for change which is purely cost cutting, ingredients and people needed to serve up a bowl of corn flakes with a slice of toast are a lot cheaper than a proper meal at lunch time.
