The governing body is a group of people who are involved in making decisions and planning the future of the school. The governing body in Cymmer Primary consists of people who represent parents and children at the school (parent governors), teachers (teacher governors), other staff at the school (staff governors), and the Local Education Authority (LA governors).
In addition, there are co-opted governors. These people have been chosen to join the governing body as they may bring skills or experience to the school not found within the other governor groups. Co-opted governors do not have to have children at the school and do not have to work there.
Governors work on a voluntary basis and attend training sessions to prepare them for their role. Governing bodies have many responsibilities and they need to make decisions about how these should be carried out. Because of the work involved/interests/expertise, some governors specialise in certain areas, such as literacy, numeracy, ICT, additional learning needs and governor training. These governors are called link Governors. Every Autumn term the governors write their annual report to parents.
