Education, youth justice, children's rights and Welsh nationalism are my passion but my family, the coast and food make me smile!

And another huge plus today was the inclusion of two of our Under 19s players who were playing in U16 last time out.

One of our school leaders in Wales was asked to submit three priorities for his school in the forthcoming year. My advice? 1. Today 2. Tomorrow 3. The next day. That’s as far as we can go at the moment. This is crisis leadership.

Yet another U-turn. This is no longer about whether you are left, right, Marxist or far right.
This is about competence, making the decision you believe is correct and standing by it.

📣 NEW YEAR 7 PUPILS 📣
To confirm, we would like pupils to be in school uniform in September. However, in the first instance, blazers should not be worn. Pupils will be expected to wear blazers as soon as it is safe to do so. #TeamTâf
Would it not have been far simpler and less heartbreaking to give AS pupils their CAGs this summer? Next year would have been a fairer time to properly assess their progress and overall achievement. This was totally unnecessary.
