ISC CEO in Talk TV panel discussion on charitable status of independent schools

Julie Robinson, chief executive of the Independent Schools Council (ISC), was interviewed alongside Sian Griffiths, education editor of The Sunday Times, and Francis Gilbert, academic director of Connected Curriculum, on Vanessa Feltz's Talk TV programme today in which they discussed the charitable status of independent schools and the cross-sector partnership work taking place. Ms Robinson described independent schools as "engines of social mobility, rather than blocks".

Ms Robinson was also interviewed by Esther McVey and Philip Davies on GB News, where she warned of the impact adding VAT to school fees would have on independent school parents and the education sector more widely.
