Independent Schools Council

The Independent Schools Council (ISC) represents 1,280 independent schools educating more than 500,000 children. ISC schools are accredited by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) and the Head of each ISC school is a member of one of their Heads’ Associations.

ISC schools cover the entire academic range. They also cover a wide social range, with nearly a third of children receiving help with their school fees.

The ISC’s Find a School service is an online resource designed for both experienced parents and new-comers to the Independent school sector offering a personalised school search facility.
