Food insecurity in schools: One headteacher's mission

Tucked away in leafy Cheshire sits Broken Cross Primary Academy, a little school doing some seriously big work, with Headteacher Donna leading a quiet revolution in how schools support struggling families. Like so many schools these days, it offers so much more than education.  With nearly half of its pupils qualifying for free school meals, Donna's team are trained to spot signs of need to make sure no child slips through the cracks. Join Mark and Vic as they chat with Donna about the growing pressures on working families, why Bread and Butter is such an important part of their school community and of course, the adorable school dogs.
