Children are going to school so hungry they are stealing each other's snacks and eating rubbers to feel full, a new poll has found.
A child in school was found eating a slice of bread to avoid being hungry as parents struggle to afford nutritious lunch boxes, a teacher has claimed.
Lisa Williams, head teacher at Rushey Green Primary School, from Lewisham, told My London she saw a child eating "just a slice of bread" as the country faces the cost of living crisis.
