Welcome

With the growing importance of Governance, it is imperative that you have the right support. With Attingham Education, schools and academies can choose from a range of packages tailored to their specific requirements. Our Clerks/Governance Professionals have been trained to Level 3 in School Governance or are working towards the qualification.  

Governors, Headteachers, and Clerks/Governance Professionals can contact us via email and telephone, and we also provide out-of-hours support for urgent matters. We can help with governing body membership, elections, and inspection support. 

If you have a complex issue, such as complaints about a school or serious concerns, we can provide face-to-face support. 

Draft agendas are also available.

Additionally, regulatory updates are provided. 

Our full-service offer is detailed below, if this does not meet your requirements, we can offer a reduced service or in some cases a bespoke service to meet your needs.

Our full-service offer includes:

• Preparation of a draft agenda, 2-3 weeks in advance of your meeting.  This will include standing items that you have provided us with, statutory items and items requested by your LA or MAT.
• Circulation of the agenda and papers within the legal timeframe via GovernorHub, Sharepoint or other means you have requested.
• Attendance of a Clerk/Governance Professional at your meeting.
• Advice and guidance during the meeting.  Best practice can also be shared if required.
