ISC Census 2007 Press Conference

20 April 2007

The ISC Annual Census 2007 will be launched on 2nd May 2007, at One Aldwych, London WC2B 4RH in the Screening Room at 5.30pm.

ISC has broken with tradition this year to present the census at an evening press conference; followed by a short drinks reception. A change in the way census statistics have been gathered and presented has created a need to revise ISC's traditional press conference format. ISC's Head of Research, Sam Freedman, will be on hand to answer any questions, and the short drinks reception will provide a great opportunity for press to meet the 2007 Association Chairmen and Presidents under one roof.

Please note, an embargo of 0001 Friday 4 May will be in effect for all media.

The following representatives will be available to answer questions:

  • Jonathan Shephard, ISC General Secretary
  • Sam Freedman, ISC Head of Research
  • Pat Langham, President, Girls' School Association
  • Nigel Richardson, Chairman, Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference
  • Peter Bodkin, Chairman, Society of Headmasters and Headmistresses of Independent Schools
  • Joan Mumby, Chairman, Independent Schools Association
  • Roland Constantine, Chairman, Independent Association of Prep Schools
  • Danny Cooper, Chairman, Independent Schools' Bursars Association (ISBA)
  • Michael Edwards, Chairman, Association of Governing Bodies of Independent Schools

Copies of the ISC Census 2007 will be available at the conference.

The private screening room is located at lower ground floor and lifts are situated by the concierge desk.
