High Sheriff visits QAC

 

This week QAC welcomed the High Sheriff of the West Midlands, Mr Douglas Wright MBE DL, to the College.

 

Following a tour of the site from two of the College's Student Ambassadors, the High Sheriff met up with Principal and Chief Executive, Bev Jessop, catching up on developments since his last visit a few years ago and talking through exciting plans for the future.

 

 

The High Sheriff commented "I had a really inspiring visit to Queen Alexandra College in Birmingham (part of the Queen Alexandra Charity). This incredible college is dedicated to supporting young people with disabilities, helping them achieve their full potential and lead independent lives. One of the highlights was visiting the fabulous library where we all discussed what our favourite books are. It was great to stop at Independence Street which is an outside training space which allows students to learn about road safety and how to use traffic signals."

 

He goes on to say "I also had the pleasure of meeting with Bev Jessop, the CEO of the Charity. Bev shared some very exciting ten year development plans which will help them deliver even more curriculum in the future. Thank you to everyone at QAC for the warm welcome and for the impactful work you do in our community."
