September 2012 - Welcome

A very warm welcome to all new (and existing) parents. On behalf of all the Governors I would like to welcome you to Pontyclun Primary School and hope that your child's stay here will be a happy and enriching one.

The Board of Governors is made up of a approximately 20 individuals (parents, local authority representatives, staff and community members) who all work together with the Head and staff to oversee the running of the school. Full governing body meetings are held, as a minimum, once a term with a number of sub committees (such as finance) meeting in between the main meetings.

The Chair and Vice Chair of Governors are elected every year by the body of governors every Autumn term. I am currently Chair of governors, a role I have held for 4 years, with Judy Hughes the Vice Chair. A number of parent governor positions are due for election this year - so please can I take this opportunity to encourage you to return your nomination forms as the individuals you vote for will represent parents' view on the governing body.

The next full governor's meeting is to be held at the end of October where the new parent governors will become part of the governing body
