Ramadan Mubarak

This year Ramadan will be from 23 April to 23 May 2020. It is the holiest month of the year for Muslims as it is when the Qur’an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad.

Some of our students and staff will start a month of fasting and we recognise and value this as a special time for them and their families.  At this time of year, they go without food and drink for a long time and this is known as fasting. The real significance of the month of Ramadan is about self-discipline and working on improving your character. It is not just about going without food for long hours, it is working on values such as honesty, truthfulness, charity, forgiveness, respect and these are the values that this school upholds.

For the first time, we will not be with students and staff in the same way as they observe Ramadan. But we will be with you in prayer.  

Ramadan 2020 will be a very different experience for Muslims all over the world during the covid-19 lockdown in accordance with public health advice. Please go to the following websites, the Musilim Council of Britain Ramadan and the NHS  How to support staff fasting during Ramadan – Our NHS People for more information on support for Ramadan during covid-19 lockdown.  

We wish our students, staff and families a happy and safe Ramadan.
