Supporting Schools
Advice, support, representation and CPD
Reports and publications, produced by SCIS, are issued to member schools to keep them up-to-date and to provide advice on new legislation. Schools also benefit from an active programme of Continuing Professional Development for all staff, both teaching and non-teaching. Seminars and conferences are organised for Heads, Bursars and Governors to ensure they keep abreast of current issues affecting schools. SCIS also commissions projects, undertakes research and disseminates information both within and about the independent sector.
Representation
The views and interests of member schools, are represented by SCIS to the Scottish Government, public bodies and education consultative groups throughout Scotland and beyond. Additionally, SCIS represents the independent education sector on numerous working groups and at national conferences and educational events.
