Love to Bishop of Llandaff students.\u201d<br \/>\nComedian and actor Stephen Fry sent a quote from the film Jeremiah Johnson: \u201cKeep your nose in the wind and your eyes along the skyline\u2026\u201d<br \/>\nFormer Olympian long-distance runner Dave Moorcroft wrote: \u201cGreatness isn\u2019t just a gift \u2014 sometimes it\u2019s a choice. Good luck.\u201d<br \/>\nThe project is being driven by Michelle Griffiths, a teacher at the school.<br \/>\nShe said: \u201cMarc Belli, the headteacher, had the idea. Expectations are very high at the Bishop of Llandaff and we have one aim: to be the best school in Wales.<br \/>\n\u201cSo we try to think of ways to motivate the kids to achieve their best. Marc came up with the idea of an inspirational message wall and I\u2019ve taken it on.<br \/>\n\u201cI wrote to a load of celebrities, used some personal contacts and got all sorts of messages back. Only two people said no.<br \/>\n\u201cI want to cover all areas of the curriculum. We\u2019ve got messages from actors, sportspeople and even one from Derek Brockway, the BBC weatherman.\u201d<br \/>\nMs Griffiths has already set her sights on a second wall of messages.<br \/>\n\u201cThe project is still going. I&#8217;ve just got back to my office to find a new message from Judy Dench!<br \/>\n\u201cThe kids have been excited and asking for the likes of Harry Styles and David Beckham.<br \/>\n\u201cWe would love to get a message from Mo Farah. He will be running the Cardiff Half Marathon, and if we could get him in to speak to the kids, that would be great too.<br \/>\n&#8220;Ultimately, if even one student is inspired by these messages, then it&#8217;s all worthwhile.&#8221;<br \/>\nIf you can help the school with contacts for their next wall, email Michelle Griffiths at <a href=\"mailto:griffithsm@bishopofllandaff.org\">griffithsm@bishopofllandaff.org<\/a> .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A WALL of fame featuring inspirational messages from celebrities including Stephen Fry, Dame Kelly Holmes and Sir Ian McKellen has been set up at a Llandaff school.
