A warm welcome and thank you for your interest in the Queensmill College Post 19 provisions.

Queensmill College Q6 started back in 2016 in premises in Goldhawk Road, Hammersmith, with seven students. Since then, we have moved and expanded but remain a relatively small bespoke specialist setting for young people with complex needs associated with autism. The young people offered a place at Queensmill College Q6 would not be able to thrive in mainstream College provisions due to their levels of autism-related anxieties. Q6 provides the specialist supports and learning experiences for our young adults to develop as individuals, and also to prepare them to move into the next phase of their lives.

Working closely together with parents and other professionals, our main aim is to support students to prepare for life outside college by building on their social communication, emotional regulation, and independence skills. We offer a rich and varied personalised curriculum based around Preparing for Adulthood. We have a variety of work experiences available within the college and in the local community which support in work related learning. Being able to access the community safely is an important part of the Q6 experience and we are very fortunate that the local area has lots to offer: local cafes, the gym, parks, shops, and Kew Gardens. We also have our own minibus donated by Dennis Wise (ex Chelsea Football Club player, Captain and Manager) that helps us to get out and about.

Above all we are committed to working towards the best experiences now and in the future for our young people.
