Bursar’s Review Impact Report 2022

Impact Report 19 ISBA reference library and website The Association’s reference library oers members more than 1,600 template policies, contracts and guidance documents which are available to download and adapt for individual schools. In 2021 we undertook an audit and archive exercise on all the entries in the library and further developed its search function ensuring that schools can access the information they need quickly and easily. There has been a 450% increase since 2017 in annual usage of ISBA’s website with a total of 328,581 page views in 2021, demonstrating the value of ISBA’s online resources for sta in independent schools. ISBA’s helpline answered 7428 enquiries from di erent member schools. We published 146 COVID-19 bulletins for members. I wish to thank you for the great work that you do for UK schools. Dealing with a pandemic is daunting but, from afar, it appears that the resources that you are providing to your schools is nothing short of outstanding. Your attention to detail, timely reporting and coverage of many risk indicators are to be congratulated. Well done to the team at ISBA!
