Prayer Information
City Academy is a diverse school that welcomes students from all cultures and backgrounds. We are happy to announce that the daily Zuhr and Jumma prayers have now resumed at lunch times. We are the only school in Bristol that have bespoke washing facilities for our Muslim students to prepare for their prayers. We are fortunate that Imam Rizwaan comes to school every day to lead the prayers. Washing facilities are opened at 1pm by the Imam and students are then escorted to E116. Prayer mats will be provided by the school will be washed on a regular basis. We advise students to bring in a hand towel. Please contact Azmina or Hinda if you have any further questions.
Family Hubs
What are Family Hubs?
Family Hubs offer information, advice and help to all families in Bristol. They run activities and support you and your family to access services and information both at our Family Hub centres and online.
This means you only need to go to one place for information, professionals will work together to give you advice and you only need to explain what you need help with once.
Who can use Family Hubs?
Everybody is welcome at a Family Hub. You can use Family Hubs if you live in Bristol and you’re expecting a baby, a family with children aged from 0 to 19 or a family with a child or young person aged up to 25 with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
