Lunchtime is always a highlight here at Great Bowden Academy—our pupils gather, enjoy freshly cooked meals by our onsite caterers Miquils, and share stories from their morning. It’s a special time to relax, connect, and recharge.

A big thank you to all parents for your support as we’ve transitioned to the new Arbor lunch-ordering system. We believe any teething issues have now been ironed out, but if you’re still encountering difficulties or need technical guidance, please contact the school office—we’re here to help.

Also, if you think your child may qualify for Free School Meals (based on certain benefits), you can check eligibility and apply via www.gov.uk/apply-free-school-meals. Our office team is happy to support anyone needing help with this process. And remember, Reception, year 1 and year 2 already receive free school meals if they wish.

Enjoy your lunch, GBA family!
