Kirsty O'Brien (Staff governor)
I'm very excited to be appointed as staff governor as I feel having been part of the inclusion team at Pontprennau and now in the office working with the children everyday, I really care about the opportunities that are offered to the children at Pontprennau to give them the best start in life. I feel that being part of the governing body will allow me to speak on behalf of the children and say what I feel is best for them.
I've always been interested in working with children and completed my studies at university to go on to working in private day nurseries and schools. I've been a teaching assistant in every class within a primary school setting, have covered classes and have managed a nursery class for a year, so I feel I have a wide variety of experiences with children and feel I know what could help them progress in life throughout primary school.
I'm looking forward to contributing to the governing body of Pontprennau as there's nothing more I'd like to see than this school, community and these children succeeding.
