If you are setting up an independent school, and you would like some help and support with the process, then ISA would be happy to help. We offer a service called Pre-membership, which is a one-off charge of £1050 for 18 months of support, including:
- Support with understanding what documents you need to submit to the DfE
- Telephone support from ISA Head Office
- A day of compliance consultancy with a friendly off-duty inspector before your Ofsted pre-opening inspection
- Free registration with ISA if you would like to apply for full membership when you are open (worth £455)
If you are interested, or need any urgent support, then please contact the Deputy CEO, Peter Woodroffe in the first instance.
Once you have successfully passed the Ofsted pre-opening inspection and received a DfE registration, then you are eligible for Full Membership.
