Every school needs a governance professional. Not every school needs to employ one.

Why BoardMet
Your in house clerk gets sick. Goes on leave. Needs training. Resigns. With BoardMet, governance never stops. You get professional support that flexes with your needs.
No pension contributions. No employer's NI. No sick pay surprises. Know exactly what governance costs each term, and redirect savings to what matters: your students.
Converting to academy? Add meetings. Quiet term? Scale back. MAT growing? We grow with you. No awkward conversations about hours or restructuring. Just governance that fits.
Your BoardMet professional is ill? Another senior professional steps in. Every meeting covered. Every deadline met. Professional backup is built into the service, not an emergency scramble.
DfE guidance changes. Academy Trust Handbook updates. KCSIE revisions. We track it all. Your governance stays current without you reading every document yourself.
Not "within 10 working days." Draft minutes in your inbox within 48 hours. Decisions documented while they're fresh. Actions tracked before they slip.
Annual booking, not annual imprisonment. If we're not delivering value, you shouldn't be trapped. We earn your renewal by making governance better, not by contract clauses.
