London headteacher Caroline Hodges resolves to find ways to provide poorer families with meal support for their children through the summer holidays
Caroline Hodges, headteacher of Little Ealing Primary School in London, resolves to find ways to provide poorer families with meal support for their children through the summer holidays, since Covid-19 has revealed the difficulties they’ve faced year on year in the past.
The school has remained open to frontline worker families, and here she observes how the older and younger children adapt and play together, but the wealth divide at this large primary school is not so easily accommodated. Caroline is determined to set up a fund to support the families in need.
Caroline recalls her own tight knit community in Northern England, where she grew up in an atmosphere of certainty about the shared care and help that existed between families.
