The school was one of the first to be involved in the new EDF Energy National Schools Rugby Programme, which is introducing close to 100,000 children to the sport over the next three years.
And on Saturday, March 24, 10 nine and ten-year-olds from the school will step on to the turf at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff for the TAG rugby demonstration at half-time in the game between Tigers and Sale Sharks.
They will be representing Tigers, who have been working with the school as part of the EDF Energy National Schools Rugby Programme. Alongside them will be pupils from Charlestown Community Primary School in Manchester, another school involved in the programme, representing Sale Sharks.
Louise Poole, EDF Energy's Head of Brand, said: "We're delighted that children taking part in the EDF Energy National Schools Rugby Programme are getting this chance to showcase TAG rugby and the programme at such a great occasion in front of thousands of passionate rugby fans.
"EDF Energy is committed to rugby at all levels, from the grassroots upwards. Through the programme, as Premier Rugby's Community Partner, we're making sure we do all we can to help produce the next generation of rugby fans, players and future stars of the game."
The children will also be forming a guard of honour to welcome players of both teams on to the pitch before the game, which kicks off at 2.30pm, and is being televised live by the BBC.
Darren Clews, deputy headteacher at Howes, said: "The EDF Energy National Schools Rugby Programme has been great and helped get the children and staff totally enthused by tag rugby.
"It's been brilliant working with Leicester Tigers and I know that the children - and the staff - are all incredibly excited by this chance to play on semi-final day at the Millennium Stadium. It should be a fantastic experience and one which the children will never forget."
Pupils will also watch the opening ceremony, see the game, receive EDF Energy goody bags and have a team photograph taken at the "Dragon's Mouth" entrance, where players run on to the pitch.
Leicester Tigers community manager Scott Clarke said: "The EDF Energy National Schools Rugby Programme has given a superb boost to the participating schools in the Coventry area. The opportunity to take part in a new sport has been grasped by all the schools and the fun and benefits to these youngsters will hopefully continue for the years to come."
An Anglo-Welsh EDF Energy Cup final at Twickenham on April 15 is guaranteed, with Cardiff Blues or Ospreys battling it out in the other semi-final at the Millennium Stadium later this Saturday. A school and junior rugby side representing Cardiff Blues and Ospreys will also be taking part in a TAG rugby demonstration and forming a guard of honour for the players in that game.
The EDF Energy National Schools Rugby Programme began in January and is one of the most comprehensive in world rugby, involving close to 100,000 nine to ten-year-old boys and girls, along with teachers, at primary schools across England. Schools where rugby has never been played before are among those being targeted.
TAG rugby is a non-contact version of the sport that teaches the skills necessary to go on and play rugby union.
Wayne Morris, Community Marketing Manager at Premier Rugby, said: "The first year of the EDF Energy programme has been a great success. We have been into a huge number of schools, using TAG rugby to introduce new children to the sport and to leave a legacy of sporting equipment and expertise to keep children at the school involved in rugby for years to come.
"Having the chance to play in front of so many supporters at the world-famous Millennium Stadium is yet another great opportunity the programme affords us and it is good to see the cities of Leicester and Coventry working together for the good of English rugby!"
Every Premier Rugby club, as well as National League sides Exeter Chiefs and Cornish Pirates, is providing coaching and running regional TAG rugby festivals. Equipment is also being provided to ensure a lasting rugby legacy, with schools being able to play the game for years to come. Clubs have also held education coaching evenings as part of the programme.
Stivichall, Ravensdale, St Peter's and St Paul's, Henley Green, Stretton, Whitley Abbey and All Saints Primary Schools in Coventry have already begun or are about to begin working with Tigers through the programme, with more schools being announced in the coming weeks.
The EDF Energy Cup semi-finals are at 2.30pm and 5.15pm on Saturday, March 24, at the Millennium Stadium and are being shown live by the BBC.
Seventeen more schools - the winners of regional TAG rugby festivals - will take part in a TAG rugby demonstration at the EDF Energy Cup final, live on BBC One, on Sunday, April 15, at Twickenham.
