History of QAC

Initial Drawing of QAC Site

QAC can trace its history back to 1847 when the General Institution for the Blind was founded by Mary Badger and Elizabeth Harrold.

The first pupil was a small boy named John Dale, aged ten, the son of a tobacco-pipe maker living near Holloway Head, who lost his sight through smallpox.

What the students say

I really enjoy my course because it offers me a good mix of theory and practical – it has also allowed me to experience new sports that I have never played before.
