Changing lives
through education,
care and opportunity
Yorkshire Rose College supports young people to learn, grow and thrive.
For almost two centuries, The Carr Fenton Foundation has supported children and young people to learn, grow and thrive. As part of this proud charitable legacy, Yorkshire Rose College empowers Deaf and SEND students aged 16–25 to achieve their ambitions through specialist teaching, personalised support and practical, hands-on learning.
Here, every student is valued as an individual — encouraged to discover their strengths, grow in confidence, and build a future that’s right for them.
What we offer
Individual learning that fits you
Every student follows a bespoke study programme designed around their goals, needs and interests. From vocational training to life skills, our three curriculum pathways – Communication & Wellbeing, Independence, and Employability – help each student move confidently towards adulthood and independence.
Students thrive in a safe, welcoming, supportive and calm learning environment. They develop confidence, friendships and the skills to take their next steps into adulthood.
