Community Governor

I became a Community Governor of Llangan Primary School in November, 2021, even before my family and I moved to the area!  I became Chair of Governors in March, 2023.  I am passionate about education for all, having been a university lecturer; a primary teacher and headteacher; and now I teach adults English and maths!  I aim to use my education experience and skills to assist the Governing Body in making sound, positive decisions for the current and future children of Llangan Primary School.  I am very approachable and would be happy to discuss any queries you may have.

Hello, I am Lydia Dando, and I have two children. I became a Parent Governor in October 2023.  I hold the school in very high regard and feel very fortunate that my children have been able to spend their primary school years in such a small, welcoming and dedicated school. As I no longer work away, I was very keen to take a more active role in supporting the school and the teaching body. I hope to bring my 20+ years of experience in the business sector to use in working with the Headmaster, teachers and other Governors to ensure that Llangan Primary school continues to go from strength to strength.

I joined the Governing board in September 2023, but have been actively involved with the school since my eldest child started in 2017, as a past member of the parent forum and PTA. My professional background in marketing means I have a keen interest in communication and am always happy to promote and help with school events. On a personal level, I have an interest in STEM and creative subjects and am an advocate for inclusion, holistic wellbeing and pupil support. I am proud to have my children at Llangan School and look forward to supporting it as a Governor going forward.

I am a Community Governor and joined the team in March 2023. My children were all educated at a local primary school and then Cowbridge Comprehensive, so becoming a Governor was a good opportunity to put something back into local education.

Whilst I don’t have a background in education, I have a lot of experience of working through management boards and committees. I am particularly interested in leadership and teacher development and support.

I am a parent governor with 2 children in the school (in Year 6 & 4) and became a governor in Autumn 2022.

I became a governor to help shape the direction of the school and ensure our children were receiving the best possible education. I was fortunate enough to begin my term at the same time as we welcomed Mr Griffiths to the position of head-teacher. This has led to a transformative and exciting time to be a governor, with many positive changes taking place.

I hope that I can bring skills developed in my professional life as a local medical consultant into my roles here in Llangan Primary school. I am used to working with teams bringing different specialities and experience and often adopt a leadership role here. I am already trained in safeguarding as per my NHS role, and I felt that the health and well-being subject area sat well within my own experience. However, ultimately, I am a mother who wishes to see my children succeed in their primary education and progress to secondary education as informed and well-rounded individuals. I feel my role as governor is to try and ensure that all our pupils have the opportunities to fulfil their potential in a nurturing and progressive environment.
