Booking details

Clear scope. Clear commitments

The practical details before you book.

One Meeting

For a board, committee or panel.

Fee
£500
Included time
Up to 2½ hours per meeting.
Additional time
£75 per 30 minutes.
Papers
Three working days ahead. You issue them; your clerk reads in.
Draft minutes
Within five working days, with chair amendments included.

£350 to reserve. £150 after approval of draft minutes.

Annual Cover

One board or committee meeting, your Board File and a named standby clerk.

Fee
£595 per board, per year.
Meetings covered
One board or committee meeting.
Additional meetings
Up to two at £400 each per academic year.
Total meetings
Maximum three per academic year.
Panels
Panels booked separately.
Papers
Ten working days ahead where we issue the agenda and papers, so the pack reaches the board seven clear days before it sits.
Using the meetings
The included meeting runs with your cover year. Book 14 days ahead and we issue the agenda and papers as well.

The difference in the paper deadlines is simply who sends them. On a single meeting the school issues its own papers and we need them three working days ahead to read in. Where we issue the agenda and papers, we need them ten working days ahead, because the pack has to reach the board seven clear days before the meeting.

Preparation and panel timetables

Standard
Book 14 days ahead and we issue the agenda and papers as well as clerking the meeting.
Urgent
For urgent meetings and panels we agree the timetable with you before the booking is confirmed.
Panels
Panel deadlines are set by the procedure that applies, not by us. We work back from them.

Payment

Pay for Annual Cover — £595

Pay by card or bank through our secure checkout, or ask us to invoice against your purchase order. Supplier information can be sent before booking. Nothing is charged for the work until you have approved the draft minutes.

Short notice: a meeting can be reserved for £350 and we name your clerk within 24 hours, or refund the reservation in full. If we miss one of our own dates, the remedy is credited automatically.

Changes to a booking

Availability, scope and booking terms are agreed before work begins. An enquiry or a reservation request is not a confirmed booking. Contact us promptly if the date or requirements change; the terms agreed for your booking apply.

Annual Cover renews yearly. Additional meetings are booked at £400 within the same academic year, up to the maximum of three.
