This September, a group of our Year 11 Religious Studies pupils had the exciting opportunity to visit the Birmingham Central Mosque as part of their GCSE studies. The trip was organised to help bring their GCSE classroom learning on Islamic beliefs and practices to life, and it certainly delivered.
The group was warmly welcomed by Mrs Begum, their knowledgeable and engaging guide, who shared passionately about her faith and the role it plays in daily life.
Girls asked a wide range of thoughtful questions during the visit, covering topics such as the importance of the Five Pillars of Islam, views on abortion, and what Muslims believe happens after death. Mrs Begum responded with great insight and clarity, helping to deepen the pupils’ understanding of key religious concepts in a real-world context.
Both pupils and staff thoroughly enjoyed the experience, finding it not only educational but also inspiring. The knowledge gained during the visit will no doubt support the students in their lessons and as they prepare for their upcoming exams.
We’re grateful to Birmingham Central Mosque for their warm hospitality and for helping to make learning come alive outside the classroom.
