Big surprise for our #breakfastclub members this morning: none other than celebrity chef and rapper Big Zuu stood behind the counter to butter up fresh bagels for them! Massive thanks to Zuu for spreading the butter and the love. Our students enjoyed it a lot. 🫶@magic_breakfast

It’s #WorldTeachersDay! 🏫 🍎 ✏️
To celebrate the importance of teachers, we thought we’d ask a few of our WONDERFUL celebrity supporters who their favourite teacher was ❤️
To kick us off... the incredible Magic Breakfast supporter and actor, @russelltovey 🌟

This morning, we were thrilled to host our event: "Beyond the School Gates: Overcoming Barriers to Education" at #CPC23, on how we can ensure that the barriers to young people’s learning can be lessened.
Calling all teacher friends! Brilliant resource to help schools think about the cost of a school day for families.
@CPAGUK - thank you for producing😊
#NoChildTooHungryToLearn
Every child should be able to take part and be happy at school.
Our schools calendar helps staff identify possible financial barriers to learning throughout the year and offers tips and examples of good practice for reducing these.

After two very different conversations today, I'm just taking a moment to say: School libraries are not statutory. You cannot assume schools will have one, or that they're staffed. Research by @GreatSchLibs indicates that secondary sch libs may have decreased by 10% in 3 yrs.

Thank you so much to every MSP who joined us outside Holyrood 🦌 on Thursday.

Natural wildlife corridors such as hedgerows and trees are essential for preserving biodiversity, which is why @ArlaDairyUK is encouraging farmers and the public to create spaces for wildlife and help halt the decline of natural habitats in the UK.
