About Us
Condover College was founded in 2004 by Steve McGill, a father who insisted on only the very best care for his son, Matthew.
Steve had struggled to find a college that catered for Matthew’s disabilities. He knew there was only one thing for it: he’d have to start a college himself.
Today, we’re continuing Steve’s legacy of providing first-rate care and opportunities for people with additional needs.

“I would say our son’s biggest achievement has to be their self-esteem. They now have a sense of self-worth I have never seen in them before”
“I really can’t praise the staff enough; they are so caring. We thoroughly enjoy our time up there, not just with our daughter but with other people and staff. Staff are welcoming – very much so.”
