Our excellent practitioners and leaders will feel supported to innovate and will challenge the ‘norm’ - pushing the boundaries and not being afraid of doing things differently. Our staff will have a genuine passion for the work that they do; self-motivated, self-disciplined, and driven to succeed and be the best they can be. In return, Ysgol Bro Taf will be an exciting place to work - a place where everyone’s achievements are celebrated, and everyone feels valued for the key contribution they are making to our collective success.

We will create a culture in which openness and an active willingness to share and promote the very best practice are key factors in the drive for improvement in our school.
