    MENTORING AND COACHING

    Mentoring and Coaching for Governance Professionals

    Many schools and trusts employ their own clerk or Governance Professional in-house. Our Mentoring and Coaching service supports those individuals directly‚ building their confidence, skills and professional development, drawing on our own team's accredited clerking experience.

    It's designed for governance staff, not governors: a way to invest in the person doing the job, rather than the board they support.

    What's Included

    • 1:1 mentoring for new or developing in-house clerks and Governance Professionals

    • Coaching to build confidence advising boards, chairing governance processes, and handling difficult meetings

    • Support working towards Level 3 or Level 4 clerking qualifications

    • Reflective supervision for experienced governance professionals moving into more strategic responsibility

    • Practical guidance from S4S's own accredited clerking team

    What This Costs

    Mentoring and Coaching is individually quoted based on the level of support needed, a single new clerk building initial confidence needs something different from an experienced Governance Professional moving into a more strategic role. Get in touch to discuss what would suit your team.

    Who This Is For

    • Schools and trusts with an in-house clerk or Governance Professional who want to invest in their ongoing development

    • Individuals newly appointed to a governance professional role who want structured support as they build experience

    • Trusts building internal governance capacity or planning succession within their central team

    Why Governing Boards Choose S4S

    • Our clerks are DBS checked and either accredited or working towards accreditation in school and academy governance.

      You can read more about our wider experience and what schools say about working with us on our Governor Support page.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Who is Mentoring and Coaching aimed at?

    It's aimed at the people carrying out clerking or governance professional roles in your school or trust‚ not governors or trustees. If you're looking for governor development instead, see our Governor Training and CPD.

     

    Is this different from Governor Training?

    Yes. Governor training develops the skills and knowledge of governors and trustees. Mentoring and Coaching develops the person doing the clerking or Governance Professional role.

     

    Can this help someone working towards Level 3 or Level 4 clerking qualifications?

    Yes, our mentoring can support professional development alongside formal qualifications.

     

    Can mentoring be combined with our clerking services?

    Yes, it's often used alongside our Full Clerking or Governance Professional Package services, or as standalone support for your own in-house team.

     

    How much does Mentoring and Coaching cost?

    It's individually quoted based on the level and frequency of support needed. Get in touch to discuss what would work for your team.
