‘The Boarding Schools’ Association values its positive working relationship with WISC, as a fellow affiliate member of the Independent Schools Council and ensuring strong support for independent boarding schools in Wales.’

WISC does a great job supporting schools in Wales, not least with the Welsh government and by organising splendid training conferences. Welsh independent schools benefit greatly from membership of WISC.

Can I please just take this chance to thank you for your support over the many years we have worked together- here at Beechwood College. Your support has been invaluable, and the information you have sent out in relation to COVID in particular has been so precious and time saving!
