“It is incredibly helpful that Calvert has somewhere where we can take learners who are overwhelmed, struggling or just need some time alone.
The features help them focus their attention, dissolving tension, bringing a sense of calm that can be hard to access elsewhere.
What a wonderful addition to an already fantastic facility.”
