SCIS is an educational charity representing 70 diverse member schools which educate more than 25,000 children and young people. We promote the interests of the sector, and share knowledge and expertise with the Scottish Government, local authorities and education bodies in the interests of all pupils in Scotland. SCIS is a member of a range of bodies where we contribute on behalf of the sector, including: the Scottish Government’s Curriculum and Assessment Board, the GTC Scotland Council and the Scottish Teachers' Pension advisory board.
