Hilary Jones, Chair of Governors, St James CE Primary School, Manchester

“Second2None Clerking Service has transformed the work of the Governing Body as they are not only on the ball (and remember key things for the Chair and for all of us), never lets us down, and doesn’t get things out of proportion. Our Clerk is a highly valued and valuable member of the team.

The Clerk has built up good relationships with the Governing Body, keeps the Committee Chairs in good order and draws the right things to our attention at the right time. Being a Governor can take up a lot of time and effort, and having a good Clerk who keeps things going and makes sure that everyone communicates is essential. ”

Jane Owens MBE, NLG

I was introduced to Second2Noone School Support through an NLG colleague as they were recommended to me to clerk an Interim Executive Board that I was chairing. I was very impressed with the knowledge and professionalism that this clerking service brought to the workings of the board.

I now use this independent clerking service at several of my other board meetings and also at my Multi Academy Trust Trustees meetings. Her colleagues also clerk the Local Governing Board's meetings. They provide advice and guidance, not just at board and committee level, but at grievance, exclusion and complaints panels when required. All who work for Laura's clerking service are similarly expert in all aspects of agenda preparation, giving clear advice and guidance when needed and very clear minutes that evidence challenge and support.

I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Mary Isherwood, Headteacher of Camberwell Park Special School, Moston.

Laura has been the clerk at Camberwell Park School since 2010. She is a knowledgeable, skilled and experienced clerk who always keeps herself up to date and is able to clarify governance queries when needed. She provides a consistently professional and responsive and supportive service with high standards of minutes. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Gary Copitch, Chair of Governors, Camberwell Park Specialist Support School, Moston.

“As chair of Camberwell Park Governing Body it is crucial to have a good Clerk who not only ensures that we follow policy and procedure but also ensures they are updated and compliant. Laura does this work pro-actively and with great skill. She records and sends out information with great efficiency and organisation, and responds to any questions with diligence and in a timely way.  Knowing this is being professionally handled has been a great help in making me an effective chair.”

Shauna Bowes, Headteacher at St Michael's RC Primary School, Bury

“You (LB) are just so professional and I know I can always ask you for advice. Your trustworthy nature is second to none. That’s most important.”

Gavin Shortall Headteacher at St James CE Primary School, Manchester

“I have been working with Laura for five years now and I have found her to be an excellent Clerk to our Governing Body. In that time she has provided great advice and built strong relationships with all of our Governors. Her knowledge of government policy and the rules and regulations that  Governing Bodies need to be aware of is first rate and we have come to see Laura as a vital support to our school.

In addition, this school is my first headship. As such, I am incredibly appreciative of the support that Laura has provided me. She has helped me to negotiate some challenging situations and always provides positive, intelligent answers to my barrage of questions! I thoroughly enjoy working with Laura and hope very much to continue to do so.”
