Regional players

• Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Llangyndeyrn: Welsh-medium secondary in Carmarthenshire. Comparable Welsh-medium secondary in scale, governance, and curriculum, serving a different local authority than Glantaf.
• Cardiff High School: Large English-medium community secondary in Cardiff operating under the same LA admissions and funding regime. Peer for catchment comparison and for benchmarking English-medium competitor demand against Welsh-medium oversubscription at Glantaf.
• Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Rhydfelin: Welsh-medium secondary serving Pontypridd/RCT, comparable in offering, age range, and Welsh-Government funding model. Useful peer for benchmarking post-16 transition partnerships in Welsh-medium schools outside Cardiff.
• Whitchurch High School: One of the largest English-medium secondaries in Cardiff, sharing the same LA-funding and oversight model as Glantaf. Comparable for benchmarking funding per pupil, curriculum scope, and pastoral/ALN support structures across LA schools.

Direct peers

• Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Bro Edern: Third Welsh-medium secondary in Cardiff; shares Executive Headteacher with Glantaf and is the second BroPlasTaf joint-sixth-form partner. Operationally the most directly comparable peer given shared leadership and joint post-16 portfolio.

Directly comparable in mission, language of instruction, and LA governance structure; serves the same Welsh-speaking pupil pool in Cardiff.
