Ormiston Queensmill Academy

Ormiston Queensmill Academy is a specialist academy for 252 children and young people aged 3 to 19 who are diagnosed with autism. Located in Shepherd's Bush, London, it serves pupils from the early years through to post-16 across its main campus and satellite settings in Hammersmith and Fulham. Its ethos centres on safeguarding, inclusion and ambitious personalised learning, helping every pupil develop greater independence, self-awareness, belonging and meaningful connections with the wider community.

The academy is distinctive for its autism-specific provision and its carefully structured links with mainstream education. Sullivan supports children in EYFS and Key Stage 1, while Q4 at Fulham Cross Academy enables secondary-aged pupils to benefit from specialist support and, where appropriate, access selected mainstream lessons. Across all settings, pupils follow a tailored and ambitious curriculum informed by their individual strengths and needs. The academy's specialist expertise, collaborative external partnerships and community-focused approach provide a strong platform for improving pupils' wellbeing and long-term outcomes.
