The Top secondary school in Wales is Ysgol Gyfun Aberaeron a bilingual school in Ceredigion.

Top 5 in Wales see two bilingual schools and two Welsh medium schools in top 5.

Top 2 schools in Cardiff are Welsh medium schools, Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Glantaf and Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Plasmawr.

Top 2 schools in Swansea are also Welsh medium schools, Ysgol Gyfun Gwyr and Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Bryn Tawe.

The top school in Caerphilly County Borough is also a Welsh medium school, Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhymni and this trend of Welsh medium schools coming out on top is repeated in the Vale of Glamorgan where Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Bro Morgannwg is the top school.

In Gwynedd the top 5 are all Welsh medium schools.
In Anglesey the top 4 are bilingual schools with 5th place going to an English medium school with significant use of Welsh.

In Carmarthenshire 3 bilingual schools make up 3 of the top 5 places including 1st and 2nd, with an English medium school with significant use of Welsh also in the top 5.
In Ceredigion 4 of the top 5 places are filled by bilingual schools including the top school in Wales Ysgol Gyfun Aberaeron.

In Denbighshire we also see more success for bilingual and Welsh medium schools with the top 2 schools being bilingual and in 3rd Welsh medium school Ysgol Uwchradd Glan Clwyd.

Conwy has a bilingual school at number 2 and a Welsh medium school at number 3, Ysgol Dyffryn Conwy and Ysgol Y Creuddyn. Rhondda Cynon Taff top 5 also see two Welsh medium schools in the top 5 with Ysgol Gyfun Rhydywaun at number 3 and Ysgol Gyfun Cymer Rhondda at number 5.

Powys has two Welsh medium schools in the top 5 and also at number 1 is Llanidloes High school which is classified as an English medium school but with significant use of Welsh.


Welsh medium schools also make up part of the top 5 in highly anglicised areas namely Wrexham, Bridgend Torfaen and Neath Port Talbot, with each having a Welsh medium school in the top 5.
Please note that Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouth, Newport and Blaenau Gwent currently have no Welsh medium or bilingual secondary schools in their areas and Flintshire has just one, Ysgol Maes Garmon.

Looking at these results we can again see that Welsh medium schools and bilingual schools (in the West of Wales) are performing and are successful, we can clearly see why especially in the South East of Wales why Welsh medium school places are in high demand. Of interest to this, Newport are currently in the process of planning their first ever Welsh medium secondary school in the city.

Over 80% of anti welsh language comments are from English people 36% live in Wales.

Most of us would have come across anti welsh language folk in our time, especially online where people often make a comment and run away before they are proven wrong. This week there has been an unusually high volume of anti welsh posts due to what has been reported in the news and some papers.   I clicked on a few of these profiles and found nearly all wasn't even welsh. This gave me an idea… I had some spare time on my hands so I decided to do some of my own unscientific research. I used my own programming skills to make a few scripts to scan twitter and a few other websites and visited a number of Facebook pages looking for debates on the welsh language. I then visited the profiles of all of these people. If their location wasn’t clear I  done a bit of scanning to determine the locations. For other people who I couldn’t determine the locations for I had to bend some rules to get their ip addresses and some times home addresses. After I logged the numbers I delet

Some Random economic facts about wales

Unionists and the media will tell you all the time that wales needs london and Wales couldn't afford independence. They base this on gdp and fva figures along with the tax raised in Wales compared to money spent on wales. All the figures are pointless and not a true reflection of the welsh economy. Independent Wales would receive the benefits from many of its resources currently being exploited by England for where Wales receives little benefit. Also the taxes raised by welsh company's go direct to London and are ignored when they say wales receives more than it raises in taxes. Most people wont know these facts. Iv found a lot out by just searching the web, freedom of information requests and simple phone calls. The truth is available folks.Don't expect the truth off the media or union politicians. If your opinions are based on the media, unionist politicians, gdp,gva or tax figures that come out of London then I'm afraid your opinion is wrong and clouded. Wale

What has devolution done for Wales part 2

Why on earth isn't the media telling the Welsh people how much they benefit from devolution? Did you know Wales had around 3 new hospitals in 30 years and 4 new schools before devolution? Since devolution Wales had to build 18 new hospitals and 22 new schools because of English neglect. Did you know exports have gone up over 200% since devolution because London wasn't even trying to sell Wales abroad? The fact is that everyone in Wales benefits from devolution one way or another. To lose it would be a massive case of self-harm that's never been seen in the history of the Welsh nation. It wasn't too long ago the media were all over Cardiff airport. They were calling it all sorts and even calling for its closure due to falling passenger figures. However. For every one of the last 33 months passenger numbers has been on the up and it is now the UKS fastest growing airport. anyway. here is what I can find so far. If i have missed anything let me know and i will ad it. Rem
