Synergy School Radio - Castle Alun-hit-the-airwaves

Students and staff at Castell Alun High School, Hope, Flintshire, are eagerly planning the new school radio station after receiving a £5,000 grant from the national Awards for All scheme.

Gareth Lloyd, media studies subject leader, said: "This is a wonderful opportunity for students of all ages and abilities to experience the making of a school radio station."

He added: "It is envisaged that Castell Alun students will conduct interviews, play music of various genres, including live performances from school members, and deliver reports and bulletins at specific times during the school day to their peers, beginning in September this year."
