The Mary Ward Centre offers high quality adult education and community services, covering the areas of Arts, Crafts, Basic Skills, Computing, Business, Music, Languages, Health & Social Care, Personal Development, Humanities and Writing & Publishing. In 2004 it was awarded Beacon College status by the DfES, and was the first adult education college in the country to have this distinction. The Centre is housed in two interconnecting listed Georgian houses overlooking Queen Square. The atmosphere of the Centre is relaxed, friendly and purposeful. Students come from all walks of life, and their education, work and life experience varies enormously. Many students do not have English as their first language.
