Parents who want to keep their children learning are choosing independent schools, recognising that the sector will always deliver a first-class education.
The Independent Schools Show helps thousands of families to plan the next steps for their children.
Our year-round programme of events brings together the leading independent schools, the brightest thinkers and the most respected heads to help you make the right decisions for your child.
The climax of our year is the show in Battersea. The number of visitors will be restricted this year, so please register your interest early.

WHAT'S ON > NEXT PARENT FORUM
The Great Outdoors - Learning Outside the Classroom
The outdoors is the ultimate enabling environment. It is full of resources for open-ended play and learning, providing huge benefits for children. In this Parent Forum we explore the opportunities for your child to experience the great outdoors and develop a wealth of skills that they can bring back into the classroom and apply to everyday life.
Senior Boarding in Action
For our first Family Forum, aimed at children as well as parents, we go behind the scenes to visit six senior schools in the evening and see what modern boarding is really like. There will be plenty of opportunities for Q&A so that you and your children can get answers to all the vital questions about boarding.
