OVERVIEW

The Independent Schools Examinations Board (ISEB) provides rigorous, high-quality assessments and educational resources that support pupils, teachers, and schools across the independent sector and beyond. Alongside its well-established entry assessments - including the Common Pre-Tests, Common Entrance, and Common Academic Scholarship examinations - ISEB now offers a growing portfolio of innovative products and services, from publishing and curriculum resources to the iPQ and Creative Writing competitions. Backed by the leading independent school associations (GSA, IAPS, and HMC), and with a heritage dating back to 1903, ISEB works in partnership with many of the world's leading prep and senior schools. Today, it is ambitious to deliver innovation and impact, offering world-class assessment, accreditation, and learning pathways that equip young people with the knowledge, skills, and independence they need for the future.
