Penyrenglyn Community Primary School
Meet the Governors
CROESO! Welcome to our Governors’ section.
Members of the Governing Body work with the Headteacher on a voluntary basis to strategically manage the school in partnership with the local authority. They are a corporate body consisting of unpaid volunteers with a duty to act in the best interests of the whole school, and they work diligently as a collective for the benefit of the pupils. This academic year our priorities are:
| Priority 1 : To
Embed formative assessment procedures so they impact on pupil progress |
| Priority 2 : To
Improve engagement of our learners through high quality provision |
| Priority 3 : To
Develop the coordination and leadership of cross curricular skills across the school (emphasis this year on DCF) |
| Priority 4 : To
Raise standards in spoken Welsh across the school |
Please click HERE to see a summary of our School Development Plan which explains how the school will be addressing these priorities.
