| ° MUSLIM ELDERLY PROJECT | |
 At
SMWA we understand the importance of the family and caring for all
those in it. We pride ourselves on the work we have developed with
elders in Muslim communities. We offer support, social activities,
care and advice CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE TOP |
|
| ° PRE SCHOOL PROVISION | |
 The
Centre offers high quality care for children from 6 months to 5 years
old and organises a programme for children that will aid their development
in meeting the early learning goals as defined by the Qualifications
and Curriculum Agency (QCA). These are in the areas of: Personal, social and emotional development Communication, language and literacy Mathematics Knowledge and understanding of the world Physical development Creative development Many of the children are growing up in homes where English is not spoken or is spoken as the second language. Our aim is to work with parents to help children develop their language skills, advising and encouraging parents to support their child’s English and at the same time to develop their own English speaking skills. Records of each child’s individual development are kept and an end-of-term report is presented to all parents highlighting their child’s achievements and recommending further activities to do at home.

| ° ADULT EDUCATION | |
|
|
Our
IT facilities have been completely transformed from classrooms containing
adequate equipment to a state-of-the-art computer suite. So far
we have refurbished and fully equipped two IT rooms with networked
computers. This was made possible by funding from the Wates Foundation
and the Community Fund:| ° FASHION & DESIGN | |
 This
course is accredited by LOCN and introduces students to basic concepts
of fashion and design. Students learn to make clothes for their family
and friends and can utilise this new-found skill to earn a living
from home.To date, we have been running one group that includes intermediate and advanced students, but plan to offer two classes in the future due to the increasing popularity of this course TOP |
|
| ° INTRODUCTION TO CHILDCARE | |
 This
is a London Open College Network (LOCN) certificate equivalent to
NVQ levels 1 and 2. The course is structured around 3 units of work:• learning through play . • learning through physical play • learning through reading and writing Some of our students are interested in finding work at the end of the course whilst others would like to progress to NVQ level 3. However, they will not attend courses at mixed colleges. The SMWA is considering how their needs may be met. TOP . |

| ° E.S.O.L (ENGLISH FOR SPEAKERS OF OTHER LANGUAGE) | |
 ESOL
Entry level 1Students develop language skills needed for routine daily activities. ESOL Entry level 2 Students progress to higher level language skills, needed for more complex situations. TOP |
|
| ° SUPPLIMENTARY SCHOOL | |
 The
after-school classes as well as the Saturday school, all make good
use of the new IT facilities. All young people attending are given
an e-mail address and have free time when they can check their e-mail,
browse the web or play computer games.The children are making excellent progress with their IT skills, which include word-processing and researching topics on the web. They are also interested in computer design applications and last year a group worked on producing a local newspaper. Some of the older children bring in homework or coursework for their GCSEs and there has been a steady improvement in the presentation of their work. Lesson plans are based on the National Curriculum, and the IT tutor works closely with the Maths and English tutors so that IT is integrated into and supports other subjects. TOP |

 A
major priority has been to develop professional on-site pre-school
provision that is grounded in Muslim values and traditions. Such a
service makes it possible for women with young children to attend
classes and other events at the Centre.Following much discussion and consultation, the crèche has been refurbished to meet the high standards required by the DfES and Southwark Council. Existing staff benefited from further training and an NNEB-qualified nurse joined the team this year. The extensive and well-developed outdoor play space is much loved by the children, many of whom have no or little access to safe outdoor play space at home. It contains a sand-pit with a removable cover and climbing structures to engage the children in imaginative and physical play. Indoors the room is divided into specialist play areas, which include a home corner, a quiet corner for reading, reflecting and carpet time, a computer area in which children can play games and puzzles and make music. We have bought new tables and chairs at which children can work and have installed washing and toilet facilities specially designed for young children. The carefully planned and designed baby area is also in great demand. TOP |
