Ramadan in term time

 Why is Ramadan important for  some of our students?
Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, requires Muslims to fast between dawn and sunset by abstaining from eating and drinking during daylight hours.
Fasting in this month is a compulsory duty upon all Muslims and is a time for spiritual reflection and by practicing self-restraint. Although this isn't expected to be completed by children under the age of puberty, we support our older children who wish to participate, where possible, to keep their fasts. See the poster for details.
