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.

Famous quotes containing the word operation:
“It is critical vision alone which can mitigate the unimpeded operation of the automatic.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“It requires a surgical operation to get a joke well into a Scotch understanding. The only idea of wit, or rather that inferior variety of the electric talent which prevails occasionally in the North, and which, under the name of “Wut,” is so infinitely distressing to people of good taste, is laughing immoderately at stated intervals.”
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
“Waiting for the race to become official, he began to feel as if he had as much effect on the final outcome of the operation as a single piece of a jumbo jigsaw puzzle has to its predetermined final design. Only the addition of the missing fragments of the puzzle would reveal if the picture was as he guessed it would be.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
