Bishop Cotton School in Knollswood, Shimla enters the SITARA 1,000 as an Elite Association school. Its published evidence includes membership of the Boarding Schools' Association (UK). The school is now under SITARA final evaluation: researchers are scoring it on all 30 indicators across the six SITARA dimensions, from published records only, and comparing its outcomes within its curriculum peer group. Whether it is named in the SITARA 500 is decided by that evidence alone, in January 2027.
