What's it all about

The Independent Schools Show is back for the sixteenth time this year at Battersea Evolution in London on Saturday 11th & Sunday 12th November. The ISS is the world’s largest open day that will help thousands of families plan the next steps for their children. With 250+ schools, 4 theatres and 60 insightful talks, a visit to the Independent Schools Show is an unmissable opportunity to ensure the right school for your child.

A visit to the ISS is completely free, you just need to register beforehand here.

Additionally, The Experience Boarding Pavilion is a brand new feature at ISS this year. It enables you to have the chance to speak with current parents and house staff from the UK's top prep and senior boarding schools.

At the same time, the children will have a chance to take part in a range of boarding-style activities such as climbing, teamwork skills, drama and caving. These exciting challenges will help to unleash their creativity, agility, and teamwork skills. Ideal for young adventurers who crave challenges, love to stay active, and thrive in team-building experiences.

The cost to be part of the Experience Boarding and have access to all the facilities is £30, but we have a 50% off for you. Simply add "SG50" once reaching checkout via the website.

What's in it for the parents

Head down this November and explore the wealth of opportunities for your child’s future. You will have the opportunity to make key introductions and speak one-on-one with the admissions director and the headteachers of leading independent schools, from pre-prep through to sixth form. It’s a space to learn more and understand how each school can help prepare your child for their educational journey.

The show will make sure no questions go unanswered, from outlining academic requirements, entry tests, admission deadlines, boarding, senior school transitions and so much more - we look forward to seeing you there!
