Coronation Street stars join teenagers from Flintshire and Chester to promote charity single Feb 16 2012 by Eleanor Barlow, Flintshire Chronicle TEENAGERS from Flintshire and Chester joined stars from Coronation Street to promote a charity single. Girls from Howells School in Denbigh visited the set of the ITV soap for a singalong with cast members including Flint-born Ian Puleston-Davies, who plays builder Owen Armstrong, Ryan Thomas, who plays Jason Grimshaw and Chris Fountain, aka Tommy Duckworth. They were there to publicise the single Iridescent, which was recorded at the school by singers, musicians and pupils to raise money for communities affected by last year’s riots. The single is the brainchild of InScreen Records chief executive Jo Lloyd who put together Project Underdog, a band of unsigned artists and school pupils, to record the single before Christmas. Howells School music teacher Morwen Murray said: “To help promote the single we were invited to visit Coronation Street and to sing alongside some of the show’s stars. It was a brilliant experience for the girls.” Stephanie O’Hare, 16, of Afonwen, near Mold, said: “It was a brilliant experience but very strange. It wasn’t what I thought it would be as it is not actually a real street but a film set built in a horseshoe shape. “The actors we sang with were really good and put a great deal of effort into the song. They hadn’t sang it before yet picked it up so quickly.”

Chelsea Grimshaw, 15, of Chester, added: “I expected them to be a bit stand-offish if I am honest but to the contrary they were so good and just real down-to-earth regular people.� Chelsea said that, back at the school, she tweeted actor Ryan Thomas to thank him and was thrilled to get a reply from Ryan in which he congratulated the girls for their efforts.

Howells School music teacher Morwen Murray said: “The song was recorded at the state-of-the-art recording studios at our school. “To help promote the single we were invited to visit Coronation Street and to sing alongside some of the show’s stars. It was a brilliant experience for the girls and gave them a real insight into TV production.” She added: “Being involved in Operation Underdog has been excellent. The girls got the chance to perform at the switching on of the Christmas lights in Chester and the opportunity to do something good for such a charitable cause has been brilliant.”

Stephanie said: “It was a brilliant experience but very strange. It wasn’t what I thought it would be as it is not actually a real street but a film set built in a horseshoe shape. “The actors we sang with were really good and put a great deal of effort into the song. They hadn’t sang it before yet picked it up so quickly.” Chelsea Grimshaw, 15, of Chester agreed adding that she was surprised how laid back the actors were. She said: “I expected them to be a bit stand-offish if I am honest but to the contrary they were so good and just real down-to-earth regular people. “I have to admit I am a fan of Chris Fountain too although we also met Ryan Thomas, who plays Jason Grimshaw, Georgia Foote, who plays Katy Armstrong and Catherine Tyldesley who plays Eva Price. “I was amazed they were able to pick up the song so quickly and knew the words from just looking briefly at the written lyrics.”

Photo by Steve Searle Abigail Gardner, 17, of Denbigh who is hoping to study music and drama at a college in Atlanta, Georgia, says it was a fabulous experience to see the Coronation Street set. She said: “It was really interesting to have even a small insight into the set and production. We saw the Rovers return, the police station and the Underworld factory. “The actors really gave it their all. Ian Puleston-Davies, who plays Owen Armstrong, probably had the best voice. But they all tried so hard and it was a great experience.” Anastasia Calveley, 15, of Llanarmon-yn-Ial, also enjoyed spending time in Coronation Street. She said: “I did expect it to be a real street and was so surprised to see it was actually just a film set. It was really interesting to see how it all comes together when filming takes place. “I really enjoyed seeing The Rovers Return, I suppose it’s a venue that has a great deal of television history to its name.” Kate Wordsworth, 13, of Betwys-y-Coed and Emily Davies, 12, of St Asaph, were pleased to have had the opportunity to get involved with Operation Underdog. Kate said: “It has been so worthwhile and I hope we have the chance to get involved with something similar in the future.” Emily added: “I agree it has been a really good experience performing and recording the CD and its so important that some good comes out of the riots last summer.”

Emily Hardwick, 15 of Chester added that it was really heart-warming that Coronation Street actors took time out of their busy schedule to sing the charity song alongside the Howell’s girls to help promote the single. She said: “They were so enthusiastic and it was a really nice experience singing with them. They didn’t have to help but the fact they so readily gave up their time to do so speaks volumes.” Chelsea Grimshaw added that, back at the Denbigh School, she tweeted actor Ryan Thomas to thank him and was thrilled to get a reply from Ryan in which he congratulated the girls for their efforts.

Amamus Latinam – We Love Latin say seven-year-old pupils By Ceidog Hughes Latin, the language of the Romans and of the Vatican, is making a comeback – among seven-year-olds at a top independent school in North Wales.
Photo: Teacher Dr Daniela Molinari with, from left, Aoife Wong, from Denbigh, Erin PIerce, Denbigh, Charlotte Ripley, Dyserth, Ella Evans, Llanfair Talhaearn, Anna Pydiah, Halkyn, Harlee Yu, Denbigh, and Tilly Buckley, Mold. The subject is now back on the curriculum at Howell's School, in Denbigh, where it is being lapped up by eager preparatory school pupils. Latin went out of the educational window – Latin fenestra, Welsh ffenestr, French fenetre – back in the trendy Seventies but is now making a major revival according to Howells Academic Principal Emma Jones.
- 10 -
It’s even got its own celebrity fans – London Mayor Boris Johnson is an advocate and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg listed Latin as one of the languages he spoke on his Harvard application. Hollywood A-lister Angelina Jolie has a Latin tattoo and footballer David Beckham has two while three of the four most popular girls names have Latin origins, Olivia (from Latin 'Oliva' meaning Olive), Emily (from the Latin 'Aemilianus', a Latin family name) and Grace (from Latin 'Gratia', meaning goodwill or kindness). Among those learning Latin is Aoife Wong, aged seven, from Denbigh, and she said: “It’s a lot of fun and we’re learning lots of different words and sentences. “It’s very interesting and we’re learning about Romulus and Remus.” Emma Jones said: “After many years of being on the decline people have realised it’s actually very good to learn Latin as it opens up so many avenues for pupils. “We have introduced it for seven-year-olds because younger age groups are able to learn languages much more quickly and better. “And they absolutely love it. We are a very international school and we held a school assembly where we had pupils from all over the world say a greeting and ‘Good Morning’ in their native language and we had one of the Latin class say it in Latin. “It’s definitely useful for those learning languages because so many words in European languages come from Latin, even in Welsh, and it’s good for those going into the law or medicine. “That’s why we have brought it in and we are slowly reintroducing it with the senior school due to restart Latin lessons in September. “We’re teaching Latin alongside studies of Classical Civilisation and the ancient Romans, who gave us the foundation of our calendar, government and law.” Latin teacher Dr Daniela Molinari said: ““I am Italian and Italian is the modern Latin and it’s new and it’s fun for them and they can relate it to other languages they study like French and Spanish. “It’s not just the language but how they connect with it and they’re very clever and can make the connection and they enjoy translating names into Latin. “It’s useful in learning every other language and it teaches them to think logically and to understand the masculine and feminine and plural forms. “My daughter is fluent in Welsh and there are even many words in Welsh that come from Latin.” Harry Potter author J K Rowling has borrowed extensively from Latin in concocting the boy wizard’s spell such as expelliamus, impedimenta and expecto patronum
- 11 -
while London Mayor Boris Johnson has said: “Latin equips you to learn other languages, but it also equips you for modern life, honing one's intellectual acuity. “Latin has been consigned to an arbitrarily enforced ghetto for far too long and I am delighted that proper recognition is again being given to this inspiring and valuable language. “My office will be pleased to work closely with the government to raise the profile of Latin and enable more youngsters to be introduced to its delights and benefits.” Mark Zuckerberg, worth an estimated $6.9 billion, has quoted Roman poet Vergil in meetings while David Beckham’s two Latin tattoos are 'Ut Amem Et Foveam', meaning 'So that I love and cherish' and 'Perfectio In Spiritu', 'Perfection in spirit', wile Angelina Jolie has 'Quod Me Nutrit 'Quod Me Nutrit Me Destruit', 'What nourishes me also destroys me' tattooed below her navel.

Enter The Dragon - the Chinese Ne Year was celebrated in style at a Vale of Clwyd school. By Ceidiog Hughes Girls from top independent boarding school Howells, in Denbigh, made their very own fire-breathing monster ahead of the worldwide celebration. The Dragon was the centrepiece of the celebrations at the 150-year-old girls school which draws its pupils from all over the world.
Photo: Pictured are pupils Lilli Tetley-Young,Ella Pearce-Whitby,Aoife Wong,Tilly Buckley,Marni Hugo, Seren Yu and Erin Pierce. The school held a specially Chinese themed programme of activities with arts and crafts including making masks, cards, Chinese symbols and a Chinese meal for lunch.
- 13 -
Academic Principal Emma Jones said: “Celebrating the Chinese New Year has become part of the calendar here at Howells and with this being the Year of the Dragon there is a special affinity between China and Wales. “We do also draw many pupils from the Far East and from Hong Kong and Singapore in particular so it is a special time for us here at Howells. “We also believe in letting the girls experience as many different cultures as we can as part of their learning experience here” People born in the Year of the Dragon are believed by the Chinese to be strong, intelligent and successful – they include John Lennon and Ringo Starr, Florence Nightingale, Joan of Arc, Liam Neeson, Raquel Welch, Reese Witherspoon, Russell Crowe, Salvador Dalí, Sandra Bullock, and Shirley Temple.

Howell's pupil inspired by Nepal charity trip By Ceidog Hughes
Photo: Seventeen-year-old Lois Hulson, from Dyserth A sixth former from a top girls' school is back from a trip to the roof of the world. Seventeen-year-old Lois Hulson, from Dyserth, spent ten days on a charity stay in Nepal and visited the capital, Kathmandu, and the Himalayas. Lois, a day girl at Howell's School in Denbigh where she is studying Geography, PE and Art, is planning to go to Oxford University and hopes to become a pilot or a speech therapist. She said: “My aunt works with a charity called the Brick Children School in Nepal and she arranged for me to go and do charity work out there.
- 15 -
“I spent time at a school for children with cerebral palsy, at a state school and at the Brick School where I was teaching arts and crafts.” Howells School Trustee Nicola Locke said: “It was a wonderful opportunity for Lois and she certainly seized it. “As a school we are very keen for the girls to broaden their horizons and take advantage of the chance to travel and experience as much of the world as possible and to help others as well.” The Brick Children School was set up ten years ago thanks to Wrexham man David Phoenix who was inspired to set it up after a visit to the Kathmandu Valley where hundreds of children work alongside their parents in dreadful conditions making bricks by hand. The school now provides over 250 impoverished children with an education thanks to the efforts of the Rotary Club of Wrexham, Rotarians in Nepal and the Red Cross and Lois said: “It was a real eye-opener being there but very rewarding as well. “The children there didn’t speak much English but we managed to get along and it was a fantastic experience to work with them.” “I did get a chance to see the Himalayas and flying over them was an amazing experience but the whole trip was pretty amazing and inspiring.”

Hollywood star backs charity single Dec 13th, 2011 | By admin | Category: Charity, Children / Young People, Denbighshire
A Christmas charity single recorded at a top girls’ school in North Wales is being backed by a Hollywood star, a former top rugby player and one of the most respected figures in football. Actor Jonathan Pryce, who hails originally from Holywell, recorded a personal plea on YouTube asking the public to buy a copy and support the cause. It was recorded at the state-of-the-art recording studios at Howells School, Denbigh, by a cast of unsigned professional artists alongside girls from the school. Among the high profile people to join the cause are French rugby league international Jerome Guisset and Gordon Taylor, the Chief Executive of the Professional Footballers’ Association.
- 17 -
The single is a cover version of Iridescent by the US super group Linkin Park and is aiming to take on the might of X-Factor in the race for the number one Christmas spot in the charts. Released by InScreen Records under the band name Project Underdog, the single aims to raise funds for communities devastated by the summer’s inner city riots. Jonathan Pryce is one of the Hollywood’s busiest and most talented actors with a long and distinguished list of screen credits. He played Governor Weatherby Swann opposite Johnny Depp’s captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean series of films. Another high profile role was arch-villain, the power-mad, billionaire media mogul Elliot Carver in the James Bond film, Tomorrow Never Dies. But his good side has come out now in the YouTube video in which he says: “I am asking you to support Project Underdog by buying the Christmas single, Iridescent.” Jerome Guisset, who played more than 120 times for Warrington Wolves before ending his playing career at Catalan Dragons, has also left a message of support on YouTube. He said: “The riots were about teenagers and kids in uproar because nothing was set up for them, they could not achieve what they wanted and there was no light at the end of the tunnel. “In sport you can’t take short cuts, that’s a big lesson you have to learn in professional sport. The single is something that’s a big thing to get behind. “The more people that buy it the more we can help the people affected by, and involved in, the riots.” The charity single was the brainchild of InScreen Records’ Chief Executive Officer Jo Lloyd. Gordon Taylor said: “Inspirational leadership, integrity, respect and moral values have been seen to be lacking more recently in our society as shown by the riots but positive role models such as Jo Lloyd and her attempts to put something back and have a willingness to affect real change can be a benchmark for others in society. “The Professional Footballers Association fully endorses this Project Underdog single to make a real difference.”
- 18 -
Bolton captain and England international footballer Kevin Davies said: “I was both astonished and appalled by the riots that took place up and down the country in August this year and the damage they caused. “As footballers we recognise we have more responsibility than just turning up each week for a match – we take great pride in our ‘role model’ status and this is why we are supporting the Project Underdog campaign and everything it stands for. “Our fans and supporters were, undoubtedly, amongst those affected by the riots, they are the stars of tomorrow and we owe them a future.” David Price, heavyweight boxer, 2008 Olympic Medallist, 2006 Commonwealth Games Gold, three times ABA Champion and undefeated heavyweight prospect has also got behind Project Underdog. He said: “I am pleased to give my support to such a worthy cause, as I believe it’s important to bounce back from these type of things, and work together in the face of adversity.” Robbie Locke, of Howells School, says staff and pupils are thrilled to have been able to play a part in the Project Underdog charity single. He said: “We were delighted to be part of this and that we are now receiving the backing of people like Jonathan Pryce, Jerome Guisset, Gordon Taylor, Kevin Davies and David Price . “Their support means a great deal to the girls from Howell’s who appear on the single and in the video. “We have got our fingers crossed that the single is going to do really well so we can help raise as much money as possible for this deserving cause.”

MP hails contribution of Howell’s School Nov 25th, 2011 | By admin | Category: Denbighshire, Education
An MP has hailed an independent girls’ school as the backbone of the economy inDenbigh. According to Vale of Clwyd MP Chris Ruane, Howell’s School also has a fine academic record of achievement. Mr Ruane was given a guided tour of the historic school by one of the charity’s Trustees, Robbie Locke. In addition to the day pupils and boarding girls, almost 5,000 children from across Europe come to Howell’s on short courses every year, mainly during the school holidays.
- 20 -
The school pumps an estimated £5 million into the local economy every year and is believed to be the biggest private sector employer in Denbigh. There has been enormous investment in the school over recent years The school has a top class equestrian centre, opened by Princess Anne in 2006. It has a state-of-the-art recording studio, a newly-opened dance studio, and last year the school purchased the 170-year-old school chapel St David’s Church which is used for weekly assemblies. Mr Ruane said: “This is an excellent school and the investment put into the area has benefited the school and also the local economy. “They are bringing thousands of young people for language courses, from the UK and Europe and around the world into my constituency, creating jobs and doing a lot for international relations at the same time. “I must confess that I had not appreciated the scale of the contribution that Howell’s makes to the economy in the Vale of Clwyd. “Before becoming an MP, I was a teacher for 14 years and I was the deputy head in a school I went to when I was three. “Howell’s is a first class educational establishment with a fine educational reputation, locally, nationally and internationally. “There are some great facilities here which is a testament to the rolling programme of investment by the Trustees. “It’s also important that they are encouraging a partnership with Llandrillo College so that their students can also benefit from the investment in this school. “Private schools have charitable status because they’re supposed to be embedded in their local community and Howells is proving that. They are an important part of the fabric of the town.” Mr Locke was delighted to have the opportunity to show the MP around the school, and update him on the latest developments. He said: “Through the operation of our all-girls boarding school, and our external programme that mainly takes place out-of-term, we contribute an estimated £5 million each year to the local economy. “There is a trickle down effect as the money paid to our employees and local contractors is recycled and spent within the community to create and support the jobs in many local businesses.
- 21 -
“I am certain that one of the reasons why there are many nice quality shops in Denbigh is because our girls, their parents and the many visitors to the school all spend their money in town. “We are a truly international business, creating a major inward investment in Wales and most especially inDenbigh town. “We have a very large campus, almost a village in itself, yet are just a few minutes’ walk from the town centre. The town of Denbigh and our school have a shared history of over 150 years. “The income from our external and international programme has enabled us to invest on a scale that would be impossible for a typical independent school. “We have boarding houses that are approaching hotel quality, with facilities from cafeterias to fitness suites, and our standard of care is second to none. “We are very pleased to take up the mantle of Thomas Howell, who died in 1589 and left us such a wonderful legacy in Howell’s School. “He was an international merchant, and we have a large international aspect to our school. Both his heart, and ours, is very much for the girls of Wales. “We aim to give them every opportunity to realise their potential academically and to create a confidence that will ensure success in their chosen career or profession.”

Pupils’ sparkling performance at Christmas lights switch-on Nov 14th, 2011 | By admin | Category: Children / Young People, Choice, Flintshire
Talented teenagers from a girls school in North Wales had their first taste of stardom singing in front of thousands of people – as they take on the might of X-Factor The seven pupils from Howell’s School, in Denbigh, performed at the big switch on of the Christmas lights in Chester. They delighted the crowds with the first public outing for the charity single that was recorded at the state-of the-art studio at Howell’s. The performance was also broadcast live by a local radio station.
- 23 -
It will be going head to head with the big guns of the X-Factor juggernaut for the Christmas Number One spot in the charts. Their version of the hit, Iridescent, by the US super-group Linkin Park will be released on November 28. The charity single is the idea of music company Inscreen Records who are raising money to help the communities devastated by the recent inner city riots. The Howell’s girls sang alongside the unsigned artists recruited for the chartchallenging fund-raiser. Music teacher Morwen Murray says, Operation Underdog, the programme behind the idea for the charity single, is a fantastic concept and is delighted girls from the Howells embraced the idea so enthusiastically. She said: “Our girls were so enthusiastic and really got behind the project. I was unsure about the choice of song at first but listen to the lyrics and it becomes obvious. “It’s all about people who have lost everything and now need to move on and rebuild their lives. It’s a song born of desperation and is for those people affected by the civil unrest by people who want to help.” Howells School pupil Abigail Gardener, 17, of Denbigh, says the whole project has been a remarkable experience and something she is thrilled to have been a part of. Abigail, who is hoping to study music and drama at a college in Atlanta, Georgia, said: “It really was a good experience. And we all thoroughly enjoyed performing the song on stage in Chester as the Christmas lights were switched on.” Chelsea Grimshaw, 15, who hails from Backford, Chester, says recording the song was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. She said: “It was a little bit nerve-wracking as we each sang individually in the recording studio before all singing together. “I did enjoy performing in Chester for the switch on of the Christmas lights although it did make me think about those who are trying to rebuild their lives after the summer unrest.” Stephanie O’Hare, 15, of Denbigh says she found filming the video that accompanies the single enjoyable but quite daunting. She said: “We never knew if we were on camera or not and at first we were all very self-conscious. However, after a while you get used to the fact that the cameras are there.

“Performing in Chester was a really good experience and it has certainly got us all in the festive spirit!” Laura Murphy, 18, of Rhuallt, says the girls were delighted to have been broadcast live on the local radio station, Dee 106.3, as they performed in Chester. She said: “It was fabulous and the crowds really seemed to like the song. The whole experience has been something to remember and we were all thrilled to have had the opportunity to take part.” Paige Strugnell, 15, of Mold, was equally thrilled to have had the opportunity to record the charity single. She said: “It is something we can be proud of and who knows, perhaps fame and fortune awaits. Performing in Chester as a group was brilliant although there was little time to prepare. “Representing our school, parents and ourselves made the occasion worthwhile. The recording studios at our school are first class and I believe the single has every chance of doing well.” The youngest Howells School student to take part in the project was Rhyl’s Brooke Roberts, 14. She said: “It was brilliant and something we will always remember. Performing in Chester was really good although we had no time to prepare. “We only found out we were going at 8.30am on the morning of the big Christmas lights switch on and we had to be there by 4pm.” Anastasia Calveley, 15, of Llanarmon-yn-Llal, Flintshire, added: “We can’t wait to see the video that will accompany the song although there is already a small clip on YouTube.” Robbie Locke, of Howell’s School, said: “We’re extremely pleased to be part of this exciting project. “The producers of the single were thrilled to have the opportunity to record the single in our first class recording studio and they said the school buildings and the grounds provided a b beautiful backdrop for the accompanying video.” Inscreen Music chairman Rob Lloyd says the charity single project, which stems from the summer riots that devastated many city centres, is hugely exciting. He said: “Fifty per cent of the money raised will go to the local communities who help keep children off the streets and away from drugs, alcohol abuse and violence.
- 25 -
“Howells School was our choice as it combines a cutting edge recording studio with fantastic facilities, a stunning setting and, of course, fabulously talented students who performed so well alongside the unsigned artists we brought in.�
