Admissions

Ian Mikardo High School is a specialist school for children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs.

Whilst the majority of our students live in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, we are open to referrals from the SEND panels of neighbouring boroughs. Our year groups run from Years 7 to 13, and we have a PAN of 55 students.

How to apply

All our students have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) relating to Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. If your child is yet to be assessed for SEN, you can refer to Tower Hamlets website for more information about the process.

We welcome students at any point between years 7 to 13. Following a referral from a SEND Panel, we invite prospective students and their families or carers to visit us and see if our school environment is a good fit for them. To help ensure that Ian Mikardo is the best possible place for an individual, a senior member of our Welfare team personally assesses each applicant’s needs as a part of the application process.

All referrals must go through the local authority (LA), and all students must have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
