Community Iftar 2026

On Friday 27th February, we held our first ever Community Iftar. Students, staff and families came together to mark the holy month of Ramadan and enjoy an evening of community, creativity and celebration.

The entire event was organised by our Sixth Form students with the help and guidance of Mr Mohsin. They arranged a range of games and activities for students and families to take part in, including Henna/Mehndi painting, a “Design a Tote Bag” art workshop, a ‘Top Bins’ football challenge, Bean Bag Toss, board games and a ‘Catching Sticks’ reaction game.

At 5pm, everyone was invited into the Hall where our Head Girl, Khadijah Anjum, welcomed parents and students to the Community Iftar. This was followed by an engaging, heartfelt and humorous talk from Rafiad Choudhury, who shared his experiences of Ramadan as an HGS student. The talks ended with Rahul Beghal and Nasim Ahmed sharing a number of common misconceptions about Ramadan.

Following the talks, everyone moved to the canteen where we came together as a school community to share a meal at sunset.

We would like to thank everyone who attended the Iftar and helped make it such a special and memorable evening — a wonderful celebration of community and togetherness.

We would also like to extend a special thank you to Mr Mohsin and the Sixth Form students who organised the evening and made it such a success.
