Re: PE lessons during Ramadan

Dear Parent/Carer,
Ramadan Mubarak!
We are writing to inform you of our expectations regarding Physical Education during the
holy month of Ramadan. We understand that during this month many of our students will be
fasting throughout the day, which will have a significant impact on the level of physical
activity they can do.
However, as a PE department we still expect every student to bring and change into full
Heron Hall PE kit during PE lessons, in line with school expectations. We also expect
students to always remain in their PE lessons as per the school expectations. Students who
attend PE lessons without PE kit will receive sanctions, including students who are fasting.
We do not expect students who are fasting to exert themselves during PE lessons however,
we would like all our students to participate in PE lessons as much as possible. We
recommend our students who are fasting to avoid vigorous, high-intensity activities during
the daytime and especially in warm weather.
As a PE department, we are adjusting our lessons to make it less physically demanding for
our students during the month of Ramadan. Our expectation remains that students still
attend lessons with full Heron Hall PE kit and at least make an attempt to participate.
Thank you for your support and cooperation.
Yours faithfully,
Mr L Charles
Head of Physical Education
