George Harold Marshall OBE (17 June 1916 – 4 October 1984) was a British schoolteacher, head master, author, academic and campaigner, internationally recognised for his work in the fields of education and assistive technology for children with visual disabilities.
Marshall started Exhall Grange, Britain's first school to cater specifically for partially sighted children in 1951, becoming the third and was its head master from 1953 until he retired in 1981, making him to date the longest-serving person to hold that position.
During his time at the school Marshall earned a national and international reputation as a campaigner for people with visual impairment,[3] and a leading expert on the education of partially sighted children.
[7] He also founded The Partially Sighted Society (PSS) after encouraging parents to seek help and advice for their children on matters relating to visual aids, and education and career opportunities.
Warwickshire Association for the Blind also awards a George Marshall Trophy, an annual prize presented to an individual or organisation that has made a significant contribution towards helping visually impaired people.
