Family Lunch

Family Lunch 

Family lunch is focused on building strong family values and a sense of community and each day we will discuss a different topic and celebrate acts of kindness as a school community.

Family lunch allows pupils in years 7, 8 and 9 to eat in groups and really get to know each other, creating positive relationships between the pupils throughout the whole school. At George Eliot Academy, being part of a community is an integral part of our school.

Belonging within a team and showing respect and values which we believe should be evident at all times of the day, including lunchtime.

As a cashless school, please use the Weduc App to pay for school dinners.


The school’s catering service is provided by Taylor Shaw, caterer of choice for thousands of secondary school students across the UK.

We believe lunch is an integral part of the school day. When students sit down with friends, they cement relationships, enhance social skills, and replenish both their body and mind.

Our menus are exciting, nutritious, and appealing, served in a supportive environment designed to educate students about how they can make healthy choices to support their wellbeing and improve their ability to focus.

Our freshly prepared menus meet the Government’s School Food Standards and meet the bronze Food for Life standards.

Eating a School Lunch is Better for Your Child

Did you know only 1% of packed lunches meet the nutritional standards that currently apply to school food?  Five reasons school lunches are better; 

  1. They save time & money
  2. They’re nutritionally better than a packed lunch
  3. They promote a varied diet & encourages new tastes
  4. They support inclusivity, dining with friends
  5. They help academic attainment by being linked to improved concentration

Free School Meals

Your child may be able to get free school meals if you get any of the following:

  • Income Support
  • income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
  • income-related Employment and Support Allowance
  • support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
  • the guaranteed element of Pension Credit
  • Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
  • Working Tax Credit run-on - paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
  • Universal Credit - if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get)

Children who get paid these benefits directly, instead of through a parent or guardian, can also get free school meals.
