Collinson Hollinghurst

Committees: Chair of Finance and Resources

I have two children, one currently in the school and the other starting in 2025.

I was previously a governor of a Southampton primary school for ten years in various roles including Chair of the Governing Board, Chair of Finance Committee, and as trustee of the Aspire Cooperative Trust.

I work as a compliance officer for HSBC, and bring experience of governance, policy writing, and advising and challenging executive management.

I am passionate about ensuring all children receive an enriching education that will enable them to fulfil their potential in a community that values them. I am grateful that our local school is such a welcoming place that inspires and challenges children, encouraging a lifelong love of learning. It has been wonderful to see my son grow and learn so much during his journey at the school.
