School Governance Services from Attingham Education
Committed to Strong School Governance
Who We Are
Attingham Education was founded in 2019 by Emma Woodhouse to provide schools and academies with reliable, professional governance support.
Based in Dudley in the West Midlands, we work with governing boards across a wide range of regions including Dudley, Bedfordshire, Birmingham, Blackburn, Derby, Coventry, Gloucestershire, Shropshire, Sheffield, Rotherham, Leicestershire, London, Northamptonshire, Solihull, Worcestershire, and Wolverhampton.
Our Services

Clear answers when you need them most, by phone, email, or in person.
Full Governor Support
Full clerking service to take care of agendas, minutes, compliance, and follow-up.
Governor and Clerk Training
We provide practical training sessions to strengthen governance.
What We Believe
Our team of Clerks and Governance Professionals are trained to Level 3 in School Governance, or working towards the qualification, and bring both knowledge and practical experience to every board we support. We believe effective governance is the foundation of strong schools, and our aim is to make the process clear, compliant, and confidence-building for everyone involved.
At the heart of our work is a commitment to clarity, integrity, and flexibility. Whether we’re clerking meetings, providing governor training, or supporting with GovernorHub, we adapt our services to the needs of each school. By taking care of the detail, we allow governing boards to focus on what matters most — strategic leadership and better outcomes for pupils.



Robin Hood MAT have exclusively used Attingham Education for the past three years and we have been delighted with their service and support.
Emma and the team are knowledgeable, approachable and hardworking and we are delighted that they run the clerking services for our schools.
