This section provides exemplar documents to support you in your role as a Clerk or Governance Professional in a Lincolnshire school. Before using any of the resources, please make sure you have reviewed the Clerking Handbook in full.

Please note: Most of the templates in this section are designed for Clerks in maintained schools.

About the documents

  • We’ve included the most commonly used and requested templates.
  • All documents are reviewed annually before the start of the academic year.
  • You are responsible for checking you are using the latest version and updating documents in line with any changes during the year.
  • Governor Services will send updates and guidance changes throughout the year – please ensure you read and act on these communications.

Using the templates

These templates are intended as a guide and are not exhaustive. You must ensure that:

  • your Chair of Governors and Headteacher review and approve them before use
