With Ramadan approaching, we refer to guidance produced by both Communities in Action and Muslim Council of Britain, to support children’s fasting. We understand that fasting during Ramadan is an important practice for many Muslim families, and while it is obligatory from puberty, we recognize that some children may fast for a few days, especially as they get older.
If your child is aged 8 years or older and wishes to fast on a school day, we kindly ask that you inform the school. It’s also important for your child to have a healthy pre-dawn meal before starting their fast to help keep them energized throughout the day.
