I am delighted to welcome Mr Matthew Evans as our new Head from September, who has led the school community well in difficult circumstances. I would also wish to pay tribute to the dedicated and extensive leadership of Mr Alun Davies, who retired in the Summer of 2020. Mr Davies led Glantaf for the past decade, and throughout this extended time, ensured Glantaf’s high standards in examinations, in extra- curricular activity and in growing a real community spirit at Glantaf. During this period, the third Welsh Medium Comprehensive, Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Bro Edern opened and Mr Davies’s support and leadership ensured the best possible start for Bro Edern, who shared the campus with Glantaf during the first year as well as managing the impact of this significant change on Glantaf’s catchment and population. On behalf of the entire school community and Governing Body I wish him well for a well-deserved retirement. The Covid pandemic has truly affected every aspect of our daily lives, however the longer- lasting effects on our children and young people continues to concern parents, and the wider education system.
