This week saw the beginning of the month of Ramadan. 

Form groups have had the opportunity to reflect on this period in the Muslim calendar,  understand the background and meaning of this time leading up to Eid Ul Fitr and share their questions and experiences. All students are being encouraged to find ways to be an ALLY to those who are fasting; but also find ways of demonstrating the core values behind this in their everyday life. 

Sixth form students have been supporting younger students through manning a quiet room in addition to the usual prayer spaces. 

Some of our Muslim students have shared their views advice and experiences with RE today (a publication for Religious Education) and the school community. 

Our very best wishes to everyone who is beginning this significant period of fasting in our school and community.

Please see below some resources about Ramadan that have been circulated to our students this week.
