Eid al-Fitr Celebrations 2025
We hope that all of our families are looking forward to their Eid celebrations, and we wish all our families a blessed Eid al-Fitr later this month.
The academy will stay open as normal on Monday 31 March as we have many non-Muslim students who are still expected in school.
