It is with great sadness that we report that Umar Azad has passed away as the result of a heart attack. Umar was such a positive and happy student with an infectious smile and I am sure that is how we will all remember him. He will be greatly missed by all who know him. The school and the wider OBA community wish to extend our deepest sympathy and offer our support to his family and friends. His funeral will take place on Friday 12th August. Full details are available from the school office office@bancrofts.org.

Anyone unable to attend who wishes to share a memory of Umar or has a message for his family can do so at: rememberingUmar@students.bancrofts.org.The school is also able to offer support through Rev.
