Slough Central Mosque

As part of the GCSE RE course, Year 9 students had a unique opportunity to visit the biggest mosque in Slough during the July Curriculum Days. The aim of this visit was to provide students with an opportunity to see how the learning of the Islam they had completed throughout Year 9 in the classroom is lived out by Muslims in everyday life. Students received a warm welcome from an experienced team of volunteers who ran interactive sessions including; calligraphy, food tasting, wudu demonstration, Qur’an Q&A and Islamic clothing and optional dress up! After lunch, students observed the afternoon prayers in the main prayer hall.

Our students were a great credit to the school and were highly praised by the team at the mosque for their engagement and good manners. We are privileged to have built up such an excellent relationship with Slough Central Mosque over many years and we look forward to taking our new Year 9 cohort there at the end of this academic year. More information about the GCSE course, including the trip, will be offered at the Year 9 options evening.
