Struggling parents are sending children to school with barely anything to eat, a headteacher has warned. Lisa Williams, head at Rushey Green Primary School in Lewisham says she has seen pupils with "just a slice of bread" for lunch.
Other teachers have told how they have seen children eating rubbers - to put something in their stomach. While some youngsters are resorting to stealing from other pupils, reports My London.
The findings came after primary school teachers were quizzed by school food charity Chefs In Schools. But some of thre answers were heartbreaking with some pupils storing food in their pockets to take home.
