Raising aspirations, building skills and creating brighter futures
Our ethos is relational, inclusive and ambitious. We combine warmth with high expectations so every learner has the care, challenge and opportunity they need to progress.
Our vision
Every learner deserves dignity, belonging and a fresh opportunity to succeed.
ROSSCON Training College supports learners who may have experienced disrupted education, unmet special educational needs, low confidence, anxiety, poor attendance or previous exclusion.
Our role is to restore trust, rebuild engagement and provide a clear pathway towards meaningful achievement, independence and positive destinations.
We do not lower ambition because a learner has experienced difficulty. We adapt the route, strengthen support and keep belief in what that learner can achieve.
“Every learner will be known, valued, challenged and supported to discover their strengths.”
Our aims
What we aim to achieve
Raise aspirations
We help learners see a positive future and set personal, academic and vocational goals.
Secure achievement
We support recognised qualifications, functional English and maths, vocational skill and personal development.
Create safety
We provide a nurturing environment where safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility.
Meet individual needs
We use assessment, support plans, reasonable adjustments and responsive SEND support.
Re-engage learners
We use relevant, practical learning to build confidence, attendance and learning habits.
Prepare next steps
We focus on careers, employer links, work-related learning, transitions and preparation for adulthood.
Relational inclusion
Relationships before behaviour systems
At Rosscon, relational inclusion means connection before correction. Adults seek to understand the individual, establish trust and emotional safety, then use clear and consistent boundaries to support growth.
Mistakes are addressed honestly and restoratively. The focus is reflection, repair and improved choices.
Relational inclusion
A shared language for the learner journey
Our Flight Path describes how learners move from initial engagement to confident achievement and progression.

SEND and inclusion
Removing barriers while preserving ambition
We use information from EHCPs, prior settings, families, professionals, diagnostic assessments, classroom observation and learner voice to plan the right support.
Inclusion means each learner feels safe, valued, understood and that they belong. We recognise that behaviour can be communication, and we respond with curiosity while maintaining accountability.
Curriculum and relationships
Learning that connects to employment and adult life
Our curriculum combines academic learning, vocational education, personal development, careers education and enrichment.
Learners are taught the knowledge, vocabulary, practical techniques and behaviours needed to progress.
Entry requirements
Need to discuss a referral or parent request?
ROSSCON Training College is open to students by referral from their current school, or by parent request if their child is 16+ and has an EHCP in place.
