Learning Without Barriers

It’s never too late (or too early) to learn something new. We offer education and learning support to young people and adults to provide them with the opportunities they need.

You might want to learn or improve your English, or perhaps sharpen up your parenting skills, or maybe you just need extra help studying core subjects at school.

Whatever your needs, interests or background, we have a course to suit you. Each of our programmes will encourage you to broaden your horizons and try something new and challenging.

Westway Trust is not-for-profit organisation and remains committed to this principle. We are also committed to enable access to education for all learners. However, we need to apply tuition fees to our Creative Courses to ensure that they cover their costs and are sustainable. Our fee structure and course pricing all underpin this committment, whilst limiting the costs associated with additional bureaucracy. 

Our ESOL and Teaching Assistant courses are free if you are: 

  • A resident of London
  • A refugee and asylum seeker (resident of more than 6 months)
  • Unemployed and in receipt of benefits
  • Employed but on low income (less than £23,350.20)

Please give us a call on 02089625741 or email us at learning.admin@westway.org if you have any questions.
