School Clerking & Governance Service
We support your school Governors and Trustees to properly fulfil their statutory responsibilities and to operate an effective and efficient governing body.
We offer an unlimited advisory service on matters related to school and trust governance. Our service enables you to run effective and compliant meetings for governors and trustees with support for board, committee and other meetings built around your needs.

Nationwide Delivery
Our Clerking & Governance Service includes:
Initial meeting with school leadership and governing board
We will hold an initial video meeting to explain the service, familiarise ourselves with your processes and gather the information and documents required to provide clerking & governance services to your school.
Advisory service on matters related to school governance
We offer an unlimited advisory service on matters related to school governance by email and telephone during working hours and is suitable for matters that may arise pre or post Governor meetings.
Updates on legal, regulatory or Ofsted changes
We send out regular email updates to school leaders and Governors on major legal/regulatory or Ofsted changes that are forthcoming or are about to come into effect.
Record keeping service
We keep records of governing body constitution, appointments, terms of office, committee memberships, specialist roles and pecuniary interests.
Coordinating, drafting and circulating agenda
Chairs work together with our clerk to suggest items for inclusion in the agenda which is circulated in good time for each meeting together with appropriate meeting related papers.
Virtual attendance at governing body and committee meetings
Your assigned clerk will ‘attend’ your Board or committee meetings virtually as required on mutually agreed dates. They will be available to advise on procedural matters relevant to the meeting.
Drafting and circulating minutes
Following each meeting, we will send a draft set of minutes to the Chair of the meeting for approval and a copy is saved for future reference.
Accredited eLearning for all governors
All Governors or Trustees of the school will have free, unlimited access to our clerking & governance eLearning library.
