Looking for an Independent School?

Looking for an ISC school? Looking for schools that match your criteria? Looking for a school nearby? Boarding or day? Single sex or co-educational?

ISC’s three school searches give you the flexibility to search for the right school for your child. Whether you’re looking for a day school or a boarding school, single sex or co-educational, one of our school searches is sure to help.

The Post Code School Search is designed for those wishing to search for schools within commuting distance. This is particularly useful in the search for day schools near home.

You’ll also find the County School Search which allows you to search by county or country giving you a greater number of schools to consider. This school search also enables you to refine your selection based on criteria such as gender, day or boarding, and age range such as pre-prep (aged 3-5), prep (aged 6-11 or 6-13), senior (11-16 or 13-16) and sixth form (aged 17-18).

You may find the Personalised Advanced School Search useful if you have more specific criteria including, but not limited to, academic subjects; financial assistance options such as school bursaries or scholarships; school examination options such as A-level, Pre-U, International Baccalaureate, IGCSEs, GCSEs etc and religious affiliation.

If you are looking for schools outside of England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland then visit our International Zone. Here you can find a list of independent schools by country.

Our School Open Day Search is another resource available to parents wishing to visit ISC schools in their area. Parents can search for schools that are having open evenings/school tours/taster days.

You can find a list of schools catering for pupils with Special Educational Needs (SEN) here. The list includes schools catering for pupils with Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, and Asperger’s Syndrome amongst others.

If you require a list of London schools broken down into boroughs you can find that here.

If you have any queries relating to any of the school searches then do not hesitate to contact the ISCias (Independent Schools Council information & advice service) team directly on:
