School Meals
School lunch time is a very important part of the day. All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 benefit from the the Government’s offer of Universal Infant Free School Meals.
Our varied menu contains both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options and special diets can be catered for on request.
The school meals are prepared and cooked at our neighbouring school, St Michael’s Junior School by an independent catering company, Caterlink.
Healthy Schools Status
Twerton Infant School is proud of its Healthy Schools Status. This award was given in recognition of the work we have done with the children with regard to healthy eating and developing healthy eating habits.
To help support our work we need your help in promoting a healthy packed lunch.
If your child is bringing a packed lunch, please ensure it is healthy. Avoid including sweets and limit crisps to a couple of times a week. Drinks are allowed, but please do not send fizzy drinks or those in glass bottles or cans.
Packed lunches should be in a named, unbreakable container. Children will return all uneaten food and debris to their lunchbox at the end of lunch. This is so that parents can monitor what their child is eating.
Bagels
At the start of each school day, children are offered a bagel which they eat while the class attendance register is taken.
Milk & Fruit
Free milk is provided for all Reception-year children. If your child doesn’t drink milk, we will offer water, or you may send a carton of juice (no fizzy drinks, please). All students receive a piece of fruit daily.
Allergies
Please inform staff of any allergies your child may have as this is vital especially during lunchtimes or cookery.
