Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Glantaf

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Glantaf (Welsh: Glantaf Welsh Comprehensive School) is the largest Welsh medium school in Wales. It is located on Bridge Road, Llandaff North, Cardiff, on the banks of the river Taff - the name 'Glantaf' means 'Taff Bank' in Welsh. The school's motto is 'Coron Gwlad Ei Mamiaith', which translates as 'A Country's Crown is Her Mother Tongue'. The school's official colours of light and dark blue reflect its Cardiff location, being also the official colours of Cardiff Blues Rugby Club and Cardiff City Football Club.

Ysgol Glantaf was founded in 1978, initially sharing premises with the English-language Glantaf High School, before expanding to occupy the entire building. Its first Prifathro (Headmaster) was Mr J E Malcolm Thomas, who was succeeded upon his retirement in 1995 by Mr Huw S Thomas, and then by current Prifathrawes (Headmistress) Mrs Rhiannon Lloyd.

The pupil numbers at the school increased into four figures during the mid-1980s, necessitating the annexing of the buildings of the old Waterhall School in Fairwater to form the Ysgol Isaf (Lower School), which housed the First and Second forms (later Years 7 and 8) of the school from 1986. This split-site arrangement continued until the opening of Cardiff's second Welsh-medium Comprehensive School, Ysgol Gymraeg Plasmawr, in 1998, from which point the Llandaff North site again housed the entirety of Glantaf's pupils.
