The Meetings

The Full Governing Body of Hollingwood Primary School meets six times per year to review and develop the school's strategic and financial direction.

​The terms of reference for each of these committees are available through the school office.

Register of pecuniary and personal interest

Governors have a legal duty to act only in the interests of the school. Where a situation arises in which they cannot do this due to a personal interest they have, steps should be taken to identify, prevent and record the conflict. This ensures that governors are acting in the best interests of the school. Governors complete a declaration on an annual basis and should not participate in discussions which may result in a personal or pecuniary interest.
