Times are difficult for everyone at the moment, with increased pressures on vital services and higher commodity, energy, and travel prices resulting in less disposable income for individuals and families to spend on other things. The result is an increasing burden on people’s physical and emotional wellbeing.
Such times have also increased stress on our students, many of whom are vulnerable due to social, economic, and financial circumstances. We support many students in a variety of ways, as all colleges do, but felt we were able to do more to support all our students in an effective and morally appropriate manner.
Subsequently, from January 4th 2023, at Haringey Sixth Form College all students irrespective of need or circumstance have been given a daily allowance of £2.50 to spend on food and drink in college. This is the equivalent of a free school meal every day for the remainder of the academic year.
