A Healthy School
Tibberton School is part of the National ‘Healthy Schools’ initiative, aimed at developing and promoting aspects of Personal, Social and Health Education through a range of themes. We achieved ‘Healthy Schools’ status in 2009.
Specific work is carried out on issues most applicable to our school. Parents, teaching staff, support and lunchtime staff, governors and members of the community are invited to participate and contribute to the projects, thus bringing new ideas and giving the children the opportunity to work with and benefit from the experiences of others.
Feedback from all participants is welcomed, allowing the pupils to be directly involved in improving their school and the community environment. We were awarded a ‘Five’ Food Hygiene Rating.
Lunch Time
Children may eat school meals or bring a packed lunch. A healthy meal choice, including a vegetarian dish and salad, is available each day, followed by a selection of desserts and fresh fruit. All our meals are freshly prepared in our school kitchen.
At the beginning of term your child will bring home an information leaflet from the School Catering Service and the menu choices for that term.
As part of our status as a ‘Healthy School’, we encourage parents to provide a healthy choice for their children if they bring a packed lunch.
Payments can be made online using the Arbor app.
Free School Meals
Your child may be entitled to free school meals. Please follow the link to access the Telford and Wrekin School meals page to see if you are eligible:

Snacks
Children are welcome to bring in healthy snacks or fruit for the morning break. Unhealthy crisps, sweets and chocolate bars are discouraged, as our aim is to establish healthy attitudes to food.
The school is a member of the National School Fruit Scheme and each Key Stage 1 child receives a free item of fruit daily.
All pupils may bring water into school in a named plastic bottle to encourage greater water intake throughout the day.
Menus and payment details can be found over in our Parents’ Area on our Lunch Menu & Payment page.
