As a hub for adult learning, the Mary Ward Centre offer a diverse range of part-time courses covering arts and crafts, humanities, fitness, essential skills, and ESOL, all designed to fit seamlessly into the lives of Newham residents. For over a century, the Mary Ward Centre has been dedicated to lifelong learning in London. Founded as part of the Settlement Movement in the late 19th century, our
mission has always been to provide inclusive and accessible education to adults from diverse backgrounds. Known as “the friendly place to learn,” studying at Mary Ward is more than just attending a class—it's about becoming part of a supportive community. Many of our learners find camaraderie and friendship, making the educational journey both enriching and enjoyable. From art to Zumba, pottery to ukulele, computing & business to psychology, there is plenty of choice to meet your interests or practical needs. Some courses lead to a certificate so you can add to your qualifications, but there is also lots of opportunity to pursue study purely for the pleasure of learning.
