Ian Mikardo High School is a specialist academy pioneering the way in which our society approaches the education of our most vulnerable young people. We put the individual at the centre of what we do, adapting our curriculum according to their social, emotional and educational needs. We are widely respected as leaders in SEN and trauma-informed practice, and are passionate about continually evolving to empower each and every one of our students.
We are proud to be a part of T4, a multi-academy trust that shares and supports our conviction that every young person should have access to an education that respects their unique circumstance and individual needs. We firmly believe that expertise should be shared and that best practice is a reflective practice. We are proud to be a part of a growing community of educators who not only share our vision, but with whom we can exchange ideas.
All our students have statements of Special Educational Needs or Education, Health and Care Plans 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 accept applications directly from parents or carers for students who already have SEN statements.
We also welcome referrals from local authorities, institutions and services.
At IMHS we are providing a rich and diverse set of educational and developmental interventions, activities and experiences for our students. Our school day consists of live lessons and activities, for the length of a normal school day, running between 9am and 3pm. You can find out more information below:
