Independent Schools Association (ISA)

Independent Schools Association preferred supplierOur parent company, Double First Ltd, became the ISA‘s Gold Preferred Supplier for school management software and Management Information Systems (MIS) in 2011 following a thorough vetting process which included testimonials and demonstrations.

Neil Roskilly, ISA’s Chief Executive Officer, is a former headteacher and also represents the independent sector on the General Teaching Council for England. “We are delighted to be in partnership with Double First,” he said.

“Our schools have unique needs and rely on us to recommend products that meet their requirements, provide great value-for-money and (most importantly) enhance learning. Heads and other school leaders do not always have the time to research the market, so ISA’s Gold Preferred Supplier programme means they only have one place to look for the best available suppliers.”
