Teenagers entitled to free school meals were most affected.

Time to reclaim the word, PLAY is not a dirty word, it's a child's right, enshrined in the UNCRC and in our statutory EYFS.
"Play provides the natural, imaginative and motivating contexts for children to learn about themselves, one another and the world around them. A single moment of sustained play can afford children many developmental experiences at once, covering multiple areas of learning." Kathy Sylva
