Operation
In addition to their political activity, the ISC issues regular guidance and information to member schools on a wide variety of political, legal educational, and practical issues. It also takes responsibility for the induction and recruitment of teaching staff.
ISC’s operations are supervised by a Board of Directors on which all eight associations are represented.
Inspection of member schools is undertaken, under a formal agreement with the DfE, by the ISI. Fully independent, the management of ISI is overseen by a Board on which the constituent associations are all represented, along with three independent directors, the Chairman and the Chief Inspector. ISI inspections are reported publicly and are monitored by Ofsted.
