Ramadan Information
The Islamic Calendar is based off the cycle of the lunar calendar. Ramadan is the first day of the ninth month of this calendar, which is determined by the sighting of the crescent moon.
During Ramadan, if your child is fasting and is in year 5 or 6 they can remain in school during the lunch break. However if your child is in Reception to year 4 and fasting they MUST be taken home for the lunch break.
Please note that there will be no special arrangements made for the children to sit in school quietly over the lunch period. This decision has been made as it is felt that Year 5 and 6 children are old enough to make their own decisions about whether they run about in the playground whilst fasting.
Should you have any queries regarding the above, please contact the school office.
