Education Administration Programs
The Independent Schools Council (ISC) represents over 1,370 UK independent schools, which educate over 537,000 pupils.
About us
The Independent Schools Council (ISC) brings together seven associations of independent schools, their heads, bursars and governors. Through our member associations we represent over 1,370 independent schools in the UK and overseas. These schools are ranked among the best in the world and educate more than 537,000 children each year. The ISC’s work is carried out by a small number of dedicated professionals working out of our offices in central London. We are assisted by the contributions from expert advisory groups in specialist areas. Our priorities are set by the board of directors led by our chairman, Barnaby Lenon. We are tasked by our members to protect and promote the independent education sector in everything we do. The ISC has six principal activities: - Provide authoritative research and intelligence about the sector - Provide legal and regulatory information/guidance - Provide online access and support informing parental decisions - Promote the sector through agreed national messaging and communications - Provide a meeting place in central London for members - Promote public affairs and parliamentary engagement on behalf of the sector

"No council is equipped for mass mid-year school entrance with no capacity planning." Independent school pupils in Surrey who are forced to leave the sector due to the VAT on fees policy may be left without a state school place, The Telegraph reports. There are expected to be no vacancies for pupils in Years 9, 10 or 11 next September, despite government data suggesting 2,400 children in the county need spaces in state school as a result of the 20 per cent levy https://lnkd.in/eEGhzpWB
