Three-quarters of teachers 'see pupils turn up to school hungry'

An alarming survey has revealed almost three-quarters of teachers have seen pupils come to class hungry, as schools are forced to compensate to meet childrens’ basic needs.

NASUWT, the largest teachers’ union, published the findings of their third annual survey, which highlighted the impact of ‘financial hardship’ is steadily growing.

Over the last year, 71 per cent of teachers saw their pupils come to school hungry, while more than a quarter have given their own food away to students.

And over half have seen their school give food to hungry children.

Of the 3,250 teachers surveyed, more than half said some youngsters were unable to afford uniform, with 15 per cent claiming they have given pupils clothing. Full story...
