A Place for Learning, Care and Growth

The Marian Mission Educational & Family Support Centre in Leyton, East London is part of the work of the Marian Missionary Sisters of the Poor.

We provide a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where children and young people can grow in confidence, learning, and friendship.

Our services are rooted in Christian values of love, compassion, and inclusion, welcoming families of all backgrounds and abilities.

“Children benefit from warm and supportive relationships with staff, and thrive in a nurturing environment where they feel safe and valued.” (Ofsted Report, 2025)
