PaJeS, the Jewish schools network, is to help financially struggling families by providing food vouchers over the summer holidays.
It has secured funding from the Maurice Wohl Charitable Foundation to alleviate food poverty which is set to benefit up to 1,200 children from 41 primary and secondary schools across the religious spectrum.
Pupils who are registered for free school meals will be eligible for the vouchers.
Economic pressures on families caused by the pandemic have been exacerbated by the cost of living crisis with inflation now over 9 per cent.
