The Governance Assistant

Ask any question of school governance procedure.

Every school board runs on the same law. We built a tool that answers from it, source attached: routine questions and difficult ones, always current, training your governors and clerks as it goes. Free to the sector.

For the governors, headteachers and clerks who require procedural certainty.

Our discipline

An answer you cannot check is just an opinion.

Three rules hold this tool to a higher standard than most.

01

It cites its source

Every reply names the regulation behind it. The certainty is yours to verify, never ours to assert.

02

It stays in its lane

It draws only on the law and statutory guidance that govern school boards, not the open internet.

03

It admits its limits

Where the law is silent or a matter needs judgement, it says so, rather than inventing an answer.

What it is grounded in

The whole of one subject, in one place.

Bringing the entire body of school-governance law and guidance into a single tool is a serious undertaking, and we have treated it as one. No general knowledge, no guesswork: the assistant works only from the regulations a governance professional would reach for, kept current as they change.
