Queen Alexandra College - Umberslade Campus

Located on the border of Selly Oak and Stirchley, the newly refurbished Umberslade Campus is a rural idyll in an urban setting dedicated to horticulture and outdoor learning.

Since August 2024, Umberslade Campus became the permenent home of the QA Charity's Community Services who are now based there full time. Over 70 clients, many ex- QAC College students benefit from a huge array of activities, services and P.A. supported events through our Community Service offer. The campus is a safe hub where young adults can spend a number of days or a few hours filling their time with meaningful, enjoyable and fun activities as part of their social care experience.

QAC students still have access to this high-quality, safe and accessible environment, benefiting from the excellent opportunities and experiences that the various horticulture facilities at Umberslade Campus can provide. Students now have timetabled slots to visit the campus to undertake different activities and placements, all as part of their educational study programme.

Umberslade has a purpose built eating and kitchen area, a range of personal care facilities, quality learning spaces and a range of outdoor learning facilities such as poly tunnels, wooden huts, a greenhouse, wild garden area, cultivated garden areas and a small orchard.

All clients and students who visit the Umberslade Campus receive the same high quality experience and specialist support from the QAC staff team.
