ISS Autumn 2026
Saturday 14 November, 10:00 - 15:30
RHS Lindley Hall, SW1
The Autumn show is your chance to plan the next steps of your child's educational journey, from early years to sixth form.
To help you navigate key entry points, the show features two theatres with talks tailored to parents considering every option, from nurseries and day schools in London, to the best boarding and out-of-London choices.
Alongside the talks, the show is the world's largest school open day. In a couple of hours you can speak with dozens of school admissions teams and headteachers about your child. These all-important, in-depth conversations can make all the difference when finding the perfect school for your child.
And then you can get an independent perspective from editors and consultants who provide honest advice on The Good Schools Guide stand.
The Good Schools Guide Brought to Life
Where school expertise meets straight-talking advice
The Best Place to Find Answers and Start Planning Your Child’s Future
For nearly a decade, The Good Schools Guide has hosted a stage at the Independent Schools Show, bringing its expert, straight-talking advice to life for parents.
This year’s Forum gets to the heart of the big questions parents face when choosing a school - from What Makes a Good School? and What is School Ethos and Does it Matter? to Would My Child Suit a Highly Academic Senior School?
The Guide also tackles what children need from school today, with sessions on Educating Girls, Educating Boys and, with its particular expertise in this area, SEND: Finding the Right Fit for Your Child.
Expect honest insight, challenging questions and plenty of practical advice from leading schools, all designed to help parents work out which school is right for their child.
Impartial, straight-talking and thoroughly researched, there is no better place to get answers and start planning your child’s future.
An impressive line-up of leading schools will be taking questions from The Good Schools Guide this term.
