Estyn inspected quality and standards in education across Wales. A new inspection framework was introduced in September 2024. From September 2024, Estyn would be engaging more regularly with schools. Schools would now have a core inspection and an interim visit within the 6-year inspection period (2024 – 2030). During the spring term 2026, six schools from the Vale of Glamorgan received a core inspection: Cowbridge School, St Nicholas Church in Wales Primary, Llantwit Major School, All Saints Church in Wales Primary, Cadoxton Primary and Llansannor and Llanharry Church in Wales Primary School. No follow up work was identified by Estyn in relation to five out of the six schools that received a core inspection during the spring term. Llantwit Major School had been placed in the Estyn statutory follow up category of special measures. In terms of schools in a statutory follow up, Pencoedtre High School remained in special measures. The progress of the school was monitored by Estyn on a termly basis. Fairfield Primary and St Richard Gwyn Catholic High were both in the statutory follow up category of significant improvement.

Rhaid i gynghorwyr ddweud pan fydd ganddyn nhw gysylltiad personol â rhywbeth sy'n cael ei drafod, fel swydd, eiddo neu aelod o'r teulu. Mae buddiant sy'n rhagfarnu yn ddigon cryf i'r cynghorydd adael yr ystafell fel arfer a pheidio â chymryd rhan.
Caiff datganiadau eu darllen o'r cofnodion unwaith y byddan nhw wedi'u cyhoeddi.
Yn rhestru cynghorwyr presennol y cyngor yn unig. Nid yw aelodau cyfetholedig, swyddogion a chyn-gynghorwyr yn cael eu dangos.
