The independent schools sector makes a vital contribution to the education of UK PLC. Given the changing political climate, increased competition and ongoing austerity measures becoming the norm, independent schools are facing a worryingly increasing risk profile.

Drawing upon insight from some of the UK’s top independent schools, publicly available information and our extensive experience and knowledge of the independent schools sector, our report highlights the wide range of risks facing the sector.

The purpose of this report is not only to stimulate debate within the sector but to act as a catalyst to consider how to mitigate these risks and share best practice. Zurich Municipal has a long term ambition to support the independent school sector in managing these risks every step of the way.
