Queensmill describes itself as a well-established autism-specific school with a child/young person-centred approach, prioritising wellbeing, staff training in autism, in-house therapists, satellite provisions, and collaboration with the autistic community. The curriculum is described as individually tailored and informed by research, with a focus on social communication, regulation, and total communication.
Admissions are overseen in collaboration with Hammersmith & Fulham SEN department and are based on criteria including an Education, Health and Care plan (EHC), being at academic levels well below age-related expectations, or an autism diagnosis. Admission process: the Local Authority sends a child’s papers (e.g., EHC plan and other reports) to the school; the Head of School decides whether the school can meet the child’s needs from papers alone; if so, the SEN Panel may pursue the place and the school will visit/observe the child to verify suitability; transitions include a transition plan with parents and the child’s current school; if the school is full, a place cannot be offered.
