Special Note for Grade 1 Parents:
Grade 1 children will finish school at 12:30pm until half-term of the first term. Thereafter, they will finish at 2.00pm.

Children with dietary requirements will need a doctor’s note and complete the Capitol Caterers Food Allergy and Intolerance Form. If parents would like to leave food items in the kitchen for their child, please provide the food in a marked container with the child's name and grade. Please update the kitchen should any changes to your child's dietary needs change.
