[Councillor Rhys Jordan declared a personal interest in this item of business by virtue of his son being a pupil of Sioned King, from Ysgol Hafan y Môr and also by virtue of being a Local Authority appointed Governor at the school.] The Committee considered a report by the Director of Education and the Head of Education Improvement and Commissioning on Leadership Development. The Chair welcomed representatives from Ysgol Hafan y Môr, Neyland Community School, and Ysgol Greenhill School, and thanked them for attending the meeting. The Chair then welcomed the Head of Education Improvement and Commissioning to introduce the report. He outlined that since the local authority inspection in 2019, a strengthened and coherent leadership development pathway had been established. This included the ‘Pembs 50’ Programme, the National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH), Partneriaeth’s leadership programmes and soft federations. The Committee heard from each of the programme participants regarding the positive impact of the Pembs 50 programme on leadership development, confidence, professional networking and progression towards senior leadership roles. Participants highlighted how learning from educational settings both within Wales and beyond had informed improvements in curriculum design, teaching and learning, instructional coaching, reading development and school improvement activities within their schools. The Committee then debated the contents of the report and the key points were noted as follows: • Members welcomed the positive outcomes arising from the programme and noted its contribution to strengthening leadership capacity and succession planning across Pembrokeshire schools. · Councillor Tessa Hodgson, Leader of the Council, welcomed the presentations and highlighted the importance of strong leadership in improving educational outcomes. She thanked participants for attending and sharing their experiences. · The Chair commended the Directorate for its work in developing future leaders and acknowledged the programme as a positive example of educational improvement within the Authority. · The Director of Education reminded Members that strengthening school leadership formed a key strand of the Authority’s post-inspection improvement roadmap following the 2019 local authority inspection. He advised that progress had been made in developing aspiring leaders, collaborative leadership models, governance arrangements and targeted support for schools, and noted that recent Estyn inspections had identified strong leadership and school improvement practices across a number of Pembrokeshire schools. · Councillor Alec Cormack welcomed the success of the programme and highlighted the importance of maintaining high standards, consistency and effective professional development opportunities. He also sought further information regarding the use of the StepLab coaching platform. In response, the Head of Education Improvement and Commissioning, advised that instructional coaching and deliberate practice had been among the most significant developments arising from the programme. He explained that the StepLab platform supported professional learning and performance development and noted that a significant number of schools were now engaging with the approach. • The Parent Governor Representative sought views on the relationship between school leadership and governing bodies, and whether further opportunities existed to strengthen governor development. In response, participants and officers highlighted the importance of open and transparent relationships between schools and governing bodies, together with the Authority’s programme of governor briefings, training and support. • Councillor David Howlett welcomed the positive impact of the programme and sought clarification regarding leadership succession planning and recruitment to future headship positions. In response, theDirector of Education advised that the programme was supporting the development of a pipeline of future leaders, although succession planning would remain an ongoing challenge as a significant number of current headteachers approached retirement over the coming years. • Councillor Viv Stoddart sought views regarding educational approaches observed in schools visited as part of the programme and whether greater autonomy for school leaders could support innovation and improvement. In response, Ms Lambert, from Ysgol Greenhill School explained that many of the principles observed, including a strong focus on literacy, numeracy and reading, could be adapted and implemented within Pembrokeshire schools. She noted that, following the programme, school leaders had worked closely with the Local Authority to strengthen reading provision and standards across schools, with early signs of improvement already being seen. She further commented that Pembrokeshire had been proactive in this area and was ahead of emerging national priorities, with school leaders empowered to adopt approaches that best met the needs of learners while remaining aligned with Welsh Government expectations. • The Chair invited views on how the programme could be further strengthened. Members heard that continued investment in literacy, numeracy, curriculum development and leadership support would assist in sustaining and expanding the programme's impact across Pembrokeshire schools. Following discussion of this item, the Chair proposed two recommendations. The first was that the Leader, or Cabinet Member for Education and Regeneration, write to the Welsh Government Cabinet Secretary/Minister responsible for Education inviting them to visit Pembrokeshire to learn more about the Pembs 50 Programme and its impact. The second was that a recommendation be made to Cabinet for Pembrokeshire County Council to make a strategic commitment to supporting the Pembs 50 Programme for a minimum period of five years. Councillor Alec Cormack proposed a further recommendation that the Cabinet Member for Education and Regeneration consider the desirability of implementing standard platforms for phonics, numeracy and professional development across schools in the County, with consideration being given to central funding as part of future budget setting. Following a discussion by Members, it was agreed that each proposal would be voted upon separately. Moved by Councillor Rhys Jordan; Seconded by Councillor Alec Cormack.

RESOLVED That the information presented to the Committee regarding the Curriculum Update, including Learning within the Outdoor Provision Audit, and the information provided by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, be noted.
[Mr James Parkin (Parent Governor Representative) declared a personal and prejudicial interest in this item of business by virtue of his role at the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority. Councillor Alec Cormack declared a personal interest in this item of business by virtue of being a Local Authority appointed Governor at Saundersfoot Community School.

Councillor Bethan Price declared a personal interest in this item of business by virtue of being a Local Authority appointed representative of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority and by virtue of being a Local Authority appointed Governor at Ysgol Penrhyn Dewi.] The Committee considered a report by the Lead of Early Years, Childcare and Play on the Curriculum Update, including Learning within the Outdoor Provision Audit. The Chair welcomed Councillor Tessa Hodgson, Leader of Council, to introduce this report and she highlighted the significant progress made in embedding outdoor learning within the Curriculum for Wales, supported through strong partnerships between schools, the Council, Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, Outdoor Learning Wales and third sector organisations. It was noted that whilst high quality practice exists across many settings, there remains variation in provision and funding pressures have created challenges for further development. The Team Leader for Early Years advised that outdoor learning continues to make a significant contribution to the educational experiences and development of children and young people across Pembrokeshire through effective partnership working. The Chair welcomed Bryony Rees, the Pembrokeshire Outdoor Schools (PODS) Co-ordinator at the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, to give a presentation on the work of Pembrokeshire Outdoor Schools and the positive impact of outdoor learning on learners’ wellbeing, resilience, engagement, attendance, attainment and skills development. She highlighted increasing participation in National Park education activities, successful funded projects, extensive teacher support and training, and examples of good practice across Pembrokeshire schools. Particular reference was made to improvements to school grounds at Prendergast School, work undertaken by Milford Haven School, community engagement projects and conservation initiatives. The Committee then debated the contents of the report and the key points were noted as follows: • The Chair asked about the impact of outdoor learning on attendance and engagement. In response to this, the Pembrokeshire Outdoor Schools (PODS) Co-ordinator provided examples of schools where increased outdoor learning opportunities had contributed to improved learner engagement and attendance, including innovative approaches such as regular outdoor learning sessions and school-based camping experiences. • Councillor Alec Cormack welcomed the initiative and thanked those involved for providing valuable opportunities for learners to benefit from Pembrokeshire’s outdoor environment. Councillor Nick Neumann also commended the work being undertaken and highlighted examples of outdoor learning provision within schools in his ward. • The Chair asked the Director of Education about the importance of this partnership to Pembrokeshire County Council. In response, the Director of Education emphasised the importance of the partnership with Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, noting that the scale and quality of current provision would not be achievable by the Authority alone. • The Chair asked whether the availability of outdoor learning facilities and larger outdoor spaces influenced parental choice when selecting schools. In response, the Director of Education advised that outdoor provision could be a factor for some families; however, there was no clear correlation between the size of a school's outdoor space and admission numbers. The Director noted that schools with more constrained sites had successfully developed high-quality outdoor learning environments, citing Fenton Community Primary School as an example. In concluding the item, the Chair noted the significant benefits of this partnership with the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority and Members welcomed the positive impact of outdoor learning across Pembrokeshire schools. Moved by Councillor Nick Neumann; Seconded by Councillor Alec Cormack. The vote, undertaken by way of a show of hands, was carried. RESOLVED That the information presented to the Committee regarding the Curriculum Update, including Learning within the Outdoor Provision Audit, and the information provided by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, be noted.

RESOLVED That the Section 175 report and the subsequent Action Plan be noted.
The Committee considered a report by the Safeguarding in Education Manager on Section 175 of the Education Act, along with the subsequent Section 175 Action Plan. The Chair invited Councillor Tessa Hodgson, Leader of Council, to introduce the report on behalf of the Safeguarding in Education Manager. The Leader of Council advised that the overall findings were positive, with safeguarding arrangements across Pembrokeshire schools reported to be well established. Strengths identified included clear safeguarding leadership, high levels of staff awareness, effective recording systems, robust governing body oversight, safer recruitment practices and strong support from local authority services. It was also noted that pupil voice, online safety, healthy relationships, consent and emotional resilience were increasingly embedded within the curriculum. The Leader also highlighted that the main priorities for improvement during 2026-27 would be strengthening lockdown and emergency preparedness, online safety provision, and the monitoring of safeguarding training for staff and governors. It was also noted that some schools had requested more consistent feedback from social care following safeguarding referrals and greater opportunities for joint training. The Committee then debated the contents of the report and the key points were noted as follows: · Councillor Alec Cormack welcomed the report and commented positively on the safeguarding training available to governors, noting the importance of ensuring that all governors understood their safeguarding responsibilities. · Councillor Huw Murphy referred to developments relating to medical needs and emergency medication in schools and asked for an update on work being undertaken nationally. In response, the Director of Education advised that the Authority was continuing to work closely with Hywel Dda University Health Board and welcomed the Welsh Government’s ongoing work in this area, whilst recognising the need for timely progress. · Councillor David Howlett referred to variations in schools’ responses regarding local authority support and asked what action was being taken to improve assurance levels. In response, the Director of Education explained that individual areas of concern identified through the audit were followed up directly with schools by the Safeguarding Education Manager. The Director advised that schools had generally provided honest self-assessments and that identified issues, including Prevent compliance, pupil voice arrangements and safeguarding capacity, were being addressed through targeted support and monitoring. · Councillor Huw Murphy asked how safeguarding arrangements applied to children receiving elective home education. The Director of Education responded that such learners were not included within the Section 175 audit process, as they were covered by separate legislation; however, the Authority maintained regular engagement with elective home education families through a range of support programmes. The Director further advised that future legislative developments in Wales may prompt further discussion on the matter. · The Chair also highlighted concerns regarding parking and traffic management around school sites. In response, the Director of Education advised that schools were required to operate traffic management plans, and that safeguarding audits also considered wider health and safety matters, including site security and fencing, with any issues incorporated into school maintenance and improvement plans. Moved by Councillor Nick Neumann; Seconded by Councillor Alec Cormack. The vote, undertaken by way of a show of hands, was carried. RESOLVED That the Section 175 report and the subsequent Action Plan be noted.

RESOLVED (a) That the increasing use of Artificial Intelligence technologies within schools be noted. (b) That the opportunities and challenges presented by Artificial Intelligence within schools be noted. (c) That the requirements placed upon schools by examination regulators and awarding bodies be noted. (d) That support for the continued development of guidance, training and governance arrangements relating to the safe, ethical and effective use of Artificial Intelligence within schools be expressed. (e) That the matter be added for further Committee consideration in 12 months’ time.
The Committee considered a report by the Programme Manager for Hwb Transformation which provided a review of ‘Artificial Intelligence within the Education Setting’. The Chair invited Councillor Tessa Hodgson, Leader of Council, to introduce the report. The Leader advised that Artificial Intelligence was increasingly being used by both staff and learners, presenting opportunities to support teaching, learning, accessibility and school administration, whilst also creating challenges around academic integrity, examination regulations, safeguarding, data protection and the responsible use of technology. Members were advised that the Authority's approach was not to prohibit Artificial Intelligence, but to support schools in using it safely, ethically and effectively. The Programme Manager for Hwb Transformation reiterated this point and noted that the Authority's role was to help schools maximise the benefits of Artificial Intelligence whilst managing associated risks through established safeguarding, governance and digital learning arrangements. The Committee then debated the contents of the report and the key points were noted as follows: · The Parent Governor Representative raised concerns of the potential impact of Artificial Intelligence on creativity, independent thinking and self-expression, and asked how schools were being supported to ensure Artificial Intelligence enhanced rather than hindered creativity. In response, the Programme Manager acknowledged the challenges posed by Artificial Intelligence but suggested that, when used appropriately, it could support creativity and improve access to high-quality learning opportunities. He advised that schools were being provided with guidance and educational resources, although further work was required to assess how effectively Artificial Intelligence was currently being used within schools. · The Director of Education added that schools were being encouraged to prioritise creativity before technology, using Artificial Intelligence as a tool to support idea generation and learning whilst ensuring that pupils developed their own original thinking, understood how to critically evaluate Artificial Intelligence-generated content, and acknowledged when Artificial Intelligence had been used. · The Head of Education Improvement and Commissioning drew comparisons with the introduction of calculators and other technologies in schools, highlighting the importance of ensuring that learners first acquired the knowledge and skills necessary to critically assess Artificial Intelligence-generated outputs. He emphasised the need for schools to consider carefully how and when Artificial Intelligence tools should be introduced within different subject areas. · Councillor Alec Cormack sought clarification regarding the availability of approved Artificial Intelligence tools within schools. In response, The Programme Manager explained that generative Artificial Intelligence tools such as Microsoft Copilot and Gemini were currently available to staff through Hwb, but not to learners. However, pupils could access a limited range of restricted Artificial Intelligence-enabled tools, such as image-generation software, within controlled educational environments. Councillor Cormack further noted the increasing prevalence of Artificial Intelligence in everyday internet searches and questioned the practicalities of identifying Artificial Intelligence-generated work. In response, The Programme Manager that national guidance discouraged the use of Artificial Intelligence-detection tools and instead relied on professional judgement, effective teaching practice and staff awareness to identify potential misuse. · The Chair observed that Artificial Intelligence was developing at a rapid pace and offered potential benefits for reducing administrative workload whilst also presenting challenges relating to learners' skills development and assessment integrity. Councillor Huw Murphy highlighted the significant opportunities and concerns associated with the technology and noted the pace at which developments were occurring. · The Programme Manager advised that schools had access to policy templates through 360 Safe Cymru and that further work was required to understand the extent to which schools had embedded Artificial Intelligence-related policies and procedures. He confirmed that this would form part of future reviews. · Councillor Joshua Beynon suggested that the Committee should continue to monitor developments in Artificial Intelligence and consider receiving a future update on how schools were using the technology in practice. The Head of Education Improvement and Commissioning informed Members that further surveys of schools were planned, alongside opportunities to share best practice and provide training on the effective use of Artificial Intelligence tools. Councillor David Howlett noted that Artificial Intelligence could also be explored through future school visits and presentations to the Committee. In concluding the item, the Chair thanked officers for the comprehensive report on a rapidly evolving subject and noted the importance of continuing to monitor developments in the use of Artificial Intelligence within education. Moved by Councillor Rhys Jordan; Seconded by Councillor Huw Murphy. The vote, undertaken by way of a show of hands, was carried. RESOLVED (a) That the increasing use of Artificial Intelligence technologies within schools be noted. (b) That the opportunities and challenges presented by Artificial Intelligence within schools be noted. (c) That the requirements placed upon schools by examination regulators and awarding bodies be noted. (d) That support for the continued development of guidance, training and governance arrangements relating to the safe, ethical and effective use of Artificial Intelligence within schools be expressed.
