About Us
The Extraordinary Story of Carol’s Life-Changing Journey
As the educational arm of Westminster City Council, Westminster Adult Education Service (WAES) is a world of extraordinary stories. From Childcare & Early Years Education to ESOL, and from Accounting and Digital to the Creative Arts and more, WAES’s courses offer unparalleled opportunities to grow, develop and acquire new skills.
People like Carol work to help everyone in our diverse communities to achieve their potential and transform their lives.
Carol left a music industry career back in the 80s, to volunteer in a local nursery. It changed her life. Now she’s managing a team to help create life-changing opportunities for children and families across Westminster and beyond. She’s never looked back. She loves working in, and for the benefit of, her local community.
From volunteering to getting a job in a nursery, to studying and becoming a Childcare Development lecturer, to joining Westminster City Council back in 1989, Carol has always seized every chance to keep learning and progressing. And now, she encourages her team to do the same. She puts her heart into enabling people’s development. That’s why Carol and Westminster are so well suited. We’re all about nurturing people too.
Carol’s immensely proud of her team, many of whom joined as learners. They have qualified and progressed. And they’ve achieved an Outstanding Ofsted grading together. She’s also proud that WAES can give opportunities to local people with potential.
Just as enthused and ambitious now as she was 35 years ago, there are still goals Carol wants to achieve for her team, for learners, children and families. With Westminster, she’s in exactly the right place to keep doing that.
