ISBA BURSARCAST // Your Voice Matters – Shaping ISBA’s Future Through the 2025 Member Survey ( 3rd October 2025)

This week, we’re focusing on a topic that affects every operational role across independent schools: how ISBA can best support its members – now and in the future.

Joining us is:

Sue Roxby, Head of Advice and Guidance at ISBA.

Together, we unpack the purpose, scope, and importance of the 2025 ISBA Member Survey, which is now open to all registered school contacts.

Topics include:

• Why ISBA is running its most comprehensive survey to date
• What’s new in this year’s questions – and what we’re hoping to learn
• How long the survey takes and why your individual response matters
• What happens with your feedback – and how ISBA plans to act on it

Whether you're a bursar, finance lead, estates manager or part of a wider operational team, this is a key moment to shape the services and support you receive.

We also explain how the survey is being managed independently by Research by Design, ensuring confidentiality and data protection at every step.
