Looking for specific research?
From regular research, such as the Annual Census and Exam Results, to bespoke topical projects, such as the Economic Impact Report, ISC’s research and intelligence underpins everything we do.
Pupils in ISC schools account for around 86% of the total number of pupils in independent schools in the UK. The UK independent sector as a whole educates approximately 620,000 children in over 2,500 schools.
The independent sector educates around 5.9% of the total number of school children in the UK and around 6.5% of the total number of school children in England.
