Amazing place. Staff all highly skilled at ensuring all activities are safe and accessible for a wide range of disabilities. I cannot recommend it highly enough. The setting was very relaxed and calming for the pupils and it was lovely to go for a walk to the lake before dinner. Pupils became so much more confident and independent by the end of the week.

The whole set-up t Calvert trust is perfect for a group such as the group we took to Calver Trust. All actvities are suitably differentiated to enable participation. Staff are extremely helpful. Catering is great too, which means that staff can concentrate on the pupils without having to worry about planning and cooking meals. (May 2018)
