Q+

Q+, trading as Queensmill College, is an independent specialist college based in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. It is part of the Queensmill Trust. Queensmill College works closely with Queensmill School but is a separate organisation. The college runs specialist post-19 provision for young people diagnosed with autism through two distinct pathway programmes. All learners have an education, health and care (EHC) plan, and most learners require a high level of one-to-one support. A few learners also have complex health needs such as epilepsy.

At present, we have two core activities: Queensmill College, a further eduction and supported internship programme for young people with autism aged 19-25; and QHouse, a respite centre for young people with autism where children and their families can stay overnight or enjoy sessional care or holiday clubs in a specially structured safe environment.

Our recent OFSTED inspection was rated good by Ofsted, the report commented that our students ‘gain confidence in social skills and progress well with their learning programmes’ and ‘make good progress towards their learning goals and EHC Plan outcomes’.
