The Sir James Henderson School is not a selective school, however, the admission procedure
operated by this popular and successful British school in Milan ensures that the nature and
character of its mission and objectives are maintained.
Places are offered to students irrespective of academic ability although children with special
needs and learning difficulties will be assessed carefully to determine whether the school is
able to effectively address their individual needs.
Admission at the Sir James Henderson School is based on
- An interview with the Principal. These interviews normally comprise a tour of the relevant sections of the school and an opportunity to meet Heads of School and appropriate teaching staff
- Availability of places in the relevant year group
- Test results in English. The level of achievement is assessed using standardized age appropriate tests administered by the Learning Support Department
- School reports from the last or current school
Demand for places at the Sir James Henderson School is very high, therefore we advise interested
parents, particularly those moving to Milan from abroad, to apply early.
The School uses the following criteria for entry once there is a waiting list in a particular year group:
- Students from British schools in the UK and British schools worldwide with mother tongue English are given priority entry to SJHS at all levels
- The school seeks to maintain a balance of British, Italian and international students within each year group
For more complete information on the admissions process, please see the relevant chapter in the
Information Booklet.
