Our learners are at the centre of everything we do We are committed to providing
a quality education and individual learning plans, life-long care and
opportunities for people with moderate or severe learning difficulties. With
high quality care and support, we believe everyone can achieve their dreams and
aspirations. Condover College was founded by someone who simply wanted the very
best opportunities for his son. In 2004, Steve McGill’s son Matthew was studying
at Condover Hall School in Shrewsbury, which was run by the Royal National
Institute for the Blind. When the RNIB announced the school was under threat of
closure, Steve stepped in. He was on the board of governors at the time and put
in a bid to lease the site for an initial ten years. Though we started with just
our educational centre and three residential schemes, we now have 12
residential schemes, Short Breaks at our Greenfields scheme and an Opportunities
Programme which enables our learners to fulfil their greatest aspirations. We
believe our success is due to putting our learners first, always aiming for
excellence and remaining focused on meeting individual needs. This ethos is
reflected in our business structure. We’re a charity exempt from registration
under the Cooperative and Community Benefit Societies Act, so we’re not about
making money for shareholders. We put everything back into the people we
support. Sadly, our founder Steve passed away in 2014. Today we are still
honouring his passion and commitment in providing the best possible care and
opportunities for all.
