In February, Alistair Lexden, President of the Independent Schools Association (ISA), held a reception at the House of Lords to celebrate the continuing steady growth of the Association, which works of behalf of smaller, community-based independent schools throughout the country.
A few years ago it had some 300 member schools; now it has well over 500 (out of a total of some 1,200 schools accredited by the Independent Schools Council, of which the ISA is a constituent part).
