Abstract
Ambitious about Autism (www.ambitiousaboutautism.org.uk) is a national charity for children
and young people with autism. It provides services, raises awareness and understanding,
and campaigns for change. Its vision is, ‘to make the ordinary possible for children and
young people with autism’ and its mission is, ‘to help them to learn, thrive and achieve’.
Ambitious about Autism, with its partners, nasen and the Association of Colleges, was
commissioned by the Department for Education (DfE) to run the ‘Finished at School
programme’ from April 2013 until March 2015. The programme plan involved four college
hubs, each working with three partner secondary schools, supporting around 110 young
people with autism to make a successful transition to post-school education. The aim of the
programme is to prepare the general further education sector for the new responsibilities
enshrined in the Children and Families Act, 2014. The programme also builds on Ambitious
about Autism’s campaign, ‘Finished at School’, for more and better post-school educational
options for young people with autism. The context of the campaign is that only about one in
four young people with autism continue their education beyond school1
.
This interim report provides an early indication of how the project has developed to early
March 2014. A final report will be produced in spring 2015.
