Ambitious College is an independent specialist day college dedicated to supporting autistic young people aged 16–25

We believe that every young person who attends Ambitious College deserves a fulfilling, happy, and rewarding life. Our educational approach focuses on the individual at all times.

We offer a highly personalised, destination focused curriculum and positively support our learners to acquire new skills and take part in everyday life. We are located within two mainstream further education college campuses: Capital City College in North London and West Thames College in West London. At each campus, our team of dedicated professionals includes teachers, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, employment specialists, behaviour analysts, assistive technologists and specialist support staff. They work together to come up with learning and support approaches tailored to the individual.

We also offer supported internships for young people who want to work in competitive employment.  These are based within three host employers including the Whittington Hospital in North London, Chessington World of Adventures and Amazon, both based in Surrey.

Through a range of partnerships with local businesses, community groups, and our mainstream college partners, we also offer opportunities to learn in the community. This combined approach – personalised education, positive support, and real work experience – delivers results. It allows our young people to achieve their goals, fulfil their potential, and go on to lead active lives in their community.
