Pecuniary Interests 

At Bridgtown Primary School, we are committed to transparency and integrity in all aspects of school governance. To uphold these values, we maintain a Register of Pecuniary Interests for all members of our governing body and staff.

A pecuniary interest refers to any financial interest that could influence—or appear to influence—a person’s decisions or actions within the school. This includes connections to businesses, organisations, or individuals who may benefit from contracts, services, or other financial arrangements with the school.

Each year, governors and staff are asked to declare any such interests, including:

• Employment or ownership in companies that may provide goods or services to the school

• Financial interests held by close family members

• Roles in other educational institutions, charities, or public bodies

Where a pecuniary interest exists, the individual will withdraw from related discussions and decision-making to avoid any conflict of interest.
