Do you place international students in the world’s leading independent schools?

The Independent Schools Show is the world’s largest school open day, where parents meet leading boarding and day schools.

This is the only event that enables agents to meet the leading British independent schools, many of whom do not attend agent-specific events.

The Show, now in its eighteenth year, takes place termly at the Royal Horticultural Halls, in Central London.

Make sure the following date is in your diary:

  • ISS Autumn - Saturday 14th November, 09:15 - 15:30

 

Agents

Agents who are approved by ISS to attend the show are given an Agent's Lanyard, which indicates that they are registered and approved by the ISS. 

This is a unique and privileged opportunity to meet the admissions staff and leaders of the most prestigious independent schools without travelling hundreds of miles.

AgentsConnect Partners & Testimonials

I genuinely think it was an inspired event. The time flew, the talks were spot on, not only in content but also in terms of delivery. It was great to meet new faces and to see a few old ones, and my diary is rapidly filling up with invitations to visit a fantastic array of schools, which will keep me out of mischief for a while!
Incredibly worthwhile. I think there has undoubtedly been a big shift in the perception of the value of a great consultants/agent/ school partnership and this morning was proof positive of that.
The networking sessions were fantastic and, I have to be honest, I started off thinking ‘will anyone want to talk to me?’ and imagined myself twiddling my thumbs but absolutely not!
It was brilliant - I spoke to 15 fantastic schools. The randomness made it even more fun, like a lucky dip to see who was next.
