Welsh Independent Schools Council


The Welsh Independent Schools Council (WISC) is the key advisory and representative body for independent schools in Wales.

Established in 2004 and incorporated in 2010, WISC supports both mainstream and special independent schools by providing guidance on educational policies and legislation.

WISC acts as the official link between its member schools and the Welsh Government, Estyn, and political leaders, advocating for the independent sector’s interests. For parents, WISC offers a user-friendly, searchable database to help find and learn about independent schools across Wales.
