“Come with a past, leave with a future.”

As of 1st January 2025, Ian Mikardo High School has become part of The Beckmead Trust.

Ian Mikardo High School is a centre of excellence for educating vulnerable young people. We put the needs of the individual at the heart of what we do, recognising that each person faces their own unique set of challenges.

An education should open up the world beyond the classroom. Our creative and flexible curriculum allows us to engage each student according to their particular history and circumstance. We build confidence and help students learn to trust. We support students emotionally whilst equipping them with the practical and academic skills for leading happy and fulfilled lives. We help our students overcome the challenges of their past and teach them that they are the future.

“It’s a brilliant school. They’ve got the right staff, they get to know the kids really well and they get to know us as families. I feel supported as a parent"
