Protic has kicked the bucket. Half the vitriol has disappeared overnight.

He’s definitely Serbian. I have no idea where the ‘Jacques’ came from.

Have to say, I’ve never seen an actual Serb with the forename ‘Jacques’ – not unless their mother happened to be French or Belgian. There is a Serbian equivalent, however.

I’ll cling to the hope that he’s a fraud.

I know what you mean. I don’t bother with the IWA blog any more.

The rabid anti-Welsh comments of Protic and his alter egos on IWA articles actually stopped me reading them (the articles) at all. I often wondered why on earth those comments weren’t deleted for the vile xenophobic hatred and racism. I’m not from Cymru though I love this country heart and soul. I agree that Welsh people can be too understanding and non-confrontational sometimes. Not me though! And I will defend this beautiful land and its culture with all my heart. No pulled punches!

Among the praise heaped on the pupils are …
“Throughout the school, nearly all pupils have a very positive attitude to learning Welsh. They enjoy learning Welsh in a range of subjects and use Welsh well in collective worship, in extra-curricular activities and generally around the school. …Many pupils develop into confident Welsh speakers and they use Welsh well in a range of contexts…”

And the teaching …
“The school creates an outstanding ethos that promotes interest and enthusiasm towards the Welsh language and Welsh culture. It provides excellent opportunities to ensure that pupils develop a positive and enthusiastic attitude towards the subject. The whole curriculum, including extra-curricular activities, promote the Welsh dimension very well. … Careful planning, and choice of interesting and often challenging reading material and text, mean that pupils’ skills develop very well so that more able pupils often choose to write in Welsh in other subjects such as history, design technology and science. This is an outstanding feature.”

Not only have the school been recognised by Estyn for their excellence in teaching Welsh, but the have also managed a “Good” in all other aspects of teaching, learning and management.

Congratulation to the Headteacher, staff and Governors for their vision and dedicated hard work, and to the “silent majority” of Ysgol Glanwydden parents for their trust in the school despite the rantings of this semi-detatched parent.
