as replied above...
the document states that:
"The Islamic calendar is based on a lunar cycle, therefore, the month of Ramadan
begins 10 or 11 days earlier each year on the Gregorian calendar; hence it takes
Ramadan about 33 years to move through the seasons from January to December"
thus is can be in any month.

but for this year, the dates are as stated above and overlap the school calendar by 3 irrelevant days. (google "ramadan 2010")
So is this whole issue about the disruption that may (but probably wont) be caused... in 7 years time when ramadan next overlaps the UK school calendar?
As stated above, much ado about fuck all.
