Although the Governing Body is ultimately responsible for the whole school and controls the strategic direction the School takes, it is not directly involved in the day-to-day management, which is the responsibility of the Headteacher. 

Our aim as a Governing Body is to use our wide range of expertise and skills to support and challenge the School to ensure that every pupil reaches their full potential whilst they are at Ystrad Mynach Primary School.

Governors meet regularly to monitor finance, strategic development, health and safety and pupils and personnel within the school. All aspects of the school’s work are important to us and are underpinned by our core values. Aiming for Excellence in order for our children become ambitious capable learners, ethical informed citizens, healthy confident individuals and enterprising creative contributors. All of this is achieved within a healthy and safe environment.
