According to the ISC, the results of this year’s census indicate:


the resilience of independent schools in the current economic downturn compared to that of 1991-94


how independent schools are changing in size, shape and ethnicity


how regional trends in independent schools reflect the various regional economies of Britain


the internationalisation of UK independent schools trends in fees and fee assistance the wide-ranging public benefit work of ISC schools


independent education and our schools are seen as amongst the best in the world. “At the heart of our schools are high


standards that put our schools ahead of the competition, with a tremendous record of academic achievement, stimulating opportunities for pupils outside the classroom and a professional approach to pastoral care.” Rudolf Eliot Lockhart, deputy general


secretary and head of research at the Independent Schools Council, said: “Every year we undertake to conduct the census to the highest standards of rigour and research and this report marks the culmination of a seven-month process. It is important we document and track the year-on-year trends and performance in our sector: we’ve been doing this for four decades and have built up a valuable record of how independent schools have changed over this period. This year I’m particularly delighted that our schools have continued to show such robust performance, with a growth in the numbers of pupils under ten and an increase in the number of boarders.” The 2014 census includes data on


all 1,257 schools in UK membership of the constituent associations of ISC. These schools comprise 1,189 schools in England; 33 in Scotland; 18 in Wales; 10 in Northern Ireland; five in the Channel Islands; and two in the Isle of Man. EDQ
