It is my pleasure to welcome you to our school community. At Ysgol Bro Taf, we are dedicated to harnessing the power of education to enrich the lives of our learners and ensure the prosperity of the Pontypridd district, both now and for future generations.
Our goal is simple: to ensure every pupil has the chance to shine. We’re committed to creating a school where everyone feels supported, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential.
We’ve designed our curriculum to spark curiosity, challenge minds, and open doors to new opportunities. By focusing on exceptional teaching and a love of learning, we aim to nurture aspirations and confidence in every pupil.
Ysgol Bro Taf is built on the values of being brave, respectful, optimistic, trusting, aspirational, and having fun. We see ourselves as ONE community — where everyone works together, celebrates achievements, and grows as leaders. These values shape everything we do, helping us create a school filled with kindness, resilience, and a positive spirit.
I’m excited about the journey ahead and all we’ll achieve together. Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to building a strong partnership as we help every pupil thrive.
Warmest regards,
Mr Mark Thomas
Headteacher

📢 Launching Our New Attendance Insight Newsletter! 📢
At Ysgol Bro Taf, attendance is a key priority because we firmly believe that every school day matters.
We are delighted to launch our new Attendance Insight Newsletter, which will be shared with parents and carers each month. The newsletter will provide important attendance updates, helpful guidance, useful facts, and information about the support available to families.
When pupils are absent from school, they are not just missing lessons. They are missing opportunities to learn, develop friendships, build confidence, take part in enriching experiences, and achieve their full potential. Every day in school contributes to their academic success and personal growth.
Our message is simple:
✅ Missing school means missing learning
✅ Missing school means missing opportunities
✅ Good attendance supports wellbeing and achievement
✅ Every day counts
Through our monthly Attendance Insight Newsletter, we hope to work closely with parents and carers to promote excellent attendance and ensure every learner has the best possible chance to succeed.
Together, let's make every day count. 💙
