Area Committees and Meetings
Membership of ISA automatically brings you and your school into a network of colleagues in your area – something that our Members value highly.
ISA consists of seven regional Areas. There is an Area Coordinator for each region who provides support and advice to new and existing Members. Each Area is run by a committee of ISA Heads and teachers, and runs its own activities, sports events, meetings and professional development. Wherever your school is located, ISA is a close and supportive presence, ready to share knowledge and experience.
Click on the areas for details of each Area Committee, together with information on forthcoming events and meeting dates and times.
For contact details of an individual Trustee, just click on their name. (You need to be logged in to the website.)
