Rhyl High: Child was videoed being ‘beat up' by fellow pupil
The Journal has been shown a video of the incident, which took place on Monday (June 2). It is understood that this video was shared widely on WhatsApp by other pupils. The father of the victim of the assault has criticised the school for the way in which it has dealt with the matter, while North Wales Police has also been informed. He told the Journal: 'My child was beaten up on video inside Rhyl High School, while kids surrounded the fight and screamed: 'kill him'. 'The school failed to protect him and isn't being held accountable. I just want to raise awareness that these things are happening in the school, as it could have ended much worse.' The father said he said he was informed in a meeting on Wednesday (June 4) that the alleged perpetrator's parents have 'been spoken to', but he said he was dissatisfied with how the meeting went. He added: 'After this, we have now decided to move our child to another school, as we do not believe he is safe there and we have lost trust in the staff. 'No-one from the school told us our child had been attacked, either. It took our child to come home and tell us he'd been battered again.' Denbighshire County Council declined to comment, and said it is a matter for Rhyl High School to deal with. Rhyl High School did not respond to a request for a statement. A North Wales Police spokesperson said: 'We can confirm that we have received a report that an assault took place at the school involving a pupil. 'Our inquiries are underway.'

Charity netball tournament inspired by Kinmel Bay woman's cancer news
Rebecca Quayle, a 40-year-old mother-of-three from Kinmel Bay, was told she has secondary breast cancer 12 months ago. On June 28 from 1.30-4pm, her sister, Jen, will take part in a 'men vs women' charity netball competition at Holywell Leisure Centre. in aid of Make 2nds Count, which supports secondary breast cancer patients. Secondary breast cancer occurs when breast cancer cells spread from the breast to other parts of the body. After teaching at Rhyl High School for 17 years, Rebecca gave up her job following her diagnosis. She co-hosts a podcast, It's All Gone T*** Up, with fellow secondary breast cancer patient Danielle Robinson, who is an ambassador for Make 2nds Count, and who runs the Tea & Chat group in Rhyl for patients like her. Rebecca said: 'Every year, they (Jen's netball team) do a netball match for a charity close to their hearts. It made me really emotional (that Make 2nds Count was chosen this year). 'My sister is my rock. She ran a marathon for Breast Cancer Now previously and raised £5,000. I was nearly in tears when I heard; I just thought it was so lovely. 'Danielle's Tea & Chat group has been a real lifesaver. We can speak to people going through the same thing, so it's an irreplaceable, brilliant support network. 'It's tough, but we get up and keep going for our children.' A JustGiving page for the event has also been set up – donations can be made by visiting: An estimated 61,000 men and women in the UK are living with this incurable disease - with an estimated 1,000 lives lost each month - and symptoms can vary from person to person. Jen wrote on the JustGiving page: 'Bec has faced treatment after treatment, and setback after setback, with an insane amount of positivity. 'As her little sister, who feels a little helpless and regrets not becoming a doctor, I want to raise money for the incredible Make 2nds Count, who are dedicated to funding research into secondary breast cancer. 'My amazing netball team is going to hold and compete in a tournament against other teams and husbands to raise money for this incredible charity. 'So, if you can, please donate, and if you're free on June 28, come to Holywell Leisure Centre to watch what I'm sure will be a very interesting tournament!'
