We were delighted to recently be visited by Beads School and a chance to meet with members of the school leadership and chaplaincy team. It was a very positive and encouraging meeting, highlighting the school’s commitment to supporting students of all faiths and backgrounds.

One of the most impressive aspects of the visit was learning about the thoughtful steps the school has taken to support its Muslim students. The school has made arrangements to allow students to fulfil their Islamic religious duties on Fridays by attending Jummah (Friday prayers), as well as being mindful and supportive during the holy month of Ramadan. These efforts demonstrate a genuine commitment to inclusion, respect, and understanding within the school community.

This collaboration reflects a strong spirit of partnership and mutual respect between the school and the local Muslim community.

The embracing atmosphere from the school and the willingness of staff and the chaplaincy team to support students in practising their faith is truly admirable. It sets a positive example of how schools and community organisations can work together to create an inclusive and supportive environment for young people.

We look forward to continuing to build this relationship and exploring further opportunities for collaboration between Beads School and Eastbourne Mosque in the future, helping to provide meaningful experiences and support for students.

It was a pleasure to capture a few photographs during the visit, including one slightly “sneaky” moment which we are pleased to share as part of this positive partnership.

Together, through cooperation and understanding, we can continue to strengthen community ties and support the next generation.

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh brothers and sisters in Islam,

Below is the prayer timetable for Ramadan 2026 with Iqamaah times.

Click on the image below to see it in full size and please feel free to print and share.

More details about the upcoming Ramadan will be shared very soon insha’Allah.

The letter below from St Catherine’s College, dated 9 February 2026, is a powerful example of leadership, compassion, and true inclusivity within education.

By recognising the spiritual importance of Ramadan and the physical challenges of fasting, the school has shown genuine care for the well-being of its students. Through offering practical support, encouraging open communication with families, providing a dedicated prayer space, and introducing awareness badges, St Catherine’s has gone above and beyond to ensure that Muslim students feel respected, understood, and supported.

As one of the first schools to take such thoughtful and proactive steps, St Catherine’s College sets an inspiring standard for others to follow.

This initiative deserves real recognition and appreciation, and we sincerely thank the leadership and staff for their commitment to creating a welcoming, respectful, and inclusive environment where every student feels valued.
