Welcome Back! We were delighted to welcome our new Year 7, 12 and 13 students to IGS on Friday 4th September and on Monday morning we welcomed back all years to school - all of them hopefully fully refreshed and ready to go for the new academic year! Over the holidays we have celebrated fantastic exam success once again at both A Level and GCSE.

We set new records for A Level again this year, achieving our highest ever points scores per student and points per exam entry. With a 99% pass rate, 39% A*/A and 90% A*/C grades, there was real cause for celebration. There were outstanding performances from a whole range of students, including Calum Carslaw and Rhiannon Savage, each with 4 A*s, Tom Bennett and Samuel Hill with 3A*s and Alex Burnett, Matthew Leedham and Jess Parker each with 2A*s and an A.

We have also seen our highest ever number of students progressing onto university study this year, with a record number moving on to Cambridge University to study courses including Medicine, Music and Natural Science. This is a fabulous set of results of which we can be rightly proud!

At GCSE, although top grades have dropped nationally for the fourth year in a row, we once again bucked this trend, by increasing the percentage of A* and A grades achieved by our students this year, including in English and Maths, where 14% of all GCSE entries were awarded A*s, (7% above the national) and over a third (36%) achieved either an A* or A (15% above national). In total, 16 subjects improved their A* and A grade results this year, with 13 subjects improving at A*-C, showing further successes across all disciplines at the school. This was of course the last year using these headline measures, as from this year, the new Progress and Attainment 8 scores will be used. It is therefore particularly pleasing to see

that IGS has performed exceptionally well on ‘expected’ and ‘better than expected’ progress measures this year too, (where students’ prior ability is taken into account when comparing results to national outcomes), with 98% of our subject results outperforming national expectations for both measures, several by more than 20%.

Top performer at the school was Catherine Boyle with 10A*s and 1 A grade, followed by Rebecca Hall with 10A*s and Ella Glover, Millie Horn and Skye Lury with 9A*s and 1 A grade.

As we start the new term we have introduced the 6 period day, with changes to lunch time and a slightly later finish (3.05pm), alongside the 2.15pm finish on a Wednesday (full details here). School bus times have been amended accordingly and full details can be found here. We have a number of exciting things to look forward to and work on this year, including how we set about implementing our new school Vision & Values, maybe some of you have seen the new display in the school’s main entrance?

Our vision at Ilkley Grammar School is to provide an exceptional, inclusive learning experience at the heart of our community. Our students will achieve their academic personal best and will be equipped with the confidence and

skills to make a positive difference to their own lives and the lives of others. We will achieve this through modelling our core values and attributes in the way we

work together. Our students should also be familiar with their individual year qualities…

Our new Year 7 students will get a chance to put all their key skills to use next week as they head off to Nell Bank...we wish them the best of luck and have

encouraged them to enjoy their day, make lots of new friends, test themselves and remember...do their Personal Best!

Alongside our visions and values and tie qualities are also the basic school rules that form the foundations of our Personal Best (PB) reward and sanction system. Can we take this opportunity to inform and remind you of the behavior we expect from all students:

Students are expected to: Be polite Show respect for others Allow others to learn without distraction Try hard and do their personal best Respect property and the academy environment Wear their uniform correctly Attend school and be punctual

Students around school should: Keep to the left in corridors Move directly to their next lesson in an orderly way and behave

sensibly Eat and drink in designated areas only Fill their water bottles only at break time and lunchtime Retrieve their belongings from lockers only before registration,

break time and lunchtimes in readiness for lessons Use Mobile Phones at break time and lunchtime only Stay away from out of bounds areas Only use their iPad in lessons unless it’s a wet break/lunch

In lessons, students should: Arrive on time and attend all lessons Bring the correct equipment including a charged iPad Line up outside the classroom Sit where they are told to do so by the teacher Follow instructions given by staff Speak politely at all times Work hard and always do their Personal Best As many of you know our academic year ends in a terrific celebration of student achievement with a Challenge and Celebration Week—one of the highlights on the school calendar and a brilliant chance to congratulate our students in following the PB system all year. Unfortunately, there are times when we have to use the PB sanctions, starting at comments and moving on, if necessary, to detentions and isolations. We ask that parents work with school to ensure students understand and follow the basic rules with regard to school life and where possible avoid the sanctions, whether it’s wearing a skirt at the correct length, arriving to lessons on time or use of mobile phones...teachers don’t enjoy handing out comments and would much rather praise and encourage with stamps as rewards. In the small number of cases where detentions are used as sanctions you will be informed in advance of why your son or daughter has received a detention and when it will take place. In extreme cases isolation is used and to reflect the changes to the school day we will be extending isolation until 4pm.

We received a special well done from MP Kris Hopkins. He had read about our fantastic Maths achievements last year and wanted to extend his own congratulations...well done to all those involved!

Well done to Jemima Elgood (12RN) who has been selected to represent England in the Mountain Running Home Counties International in Betws-y-Coed, Wales on 19th September. This is Jemima’s second England vest having made her England mountain running debut earlier this year at the International Youth Cup in Bulgaria. Earlier this year Jemima finished runner up in the 2015 FRA U16 championships...best of luck Jemima! Left: Jemima Elgood (12RN)




Congratulations to Dominic Coy (9SP) who raced at Mallory Park racing track in Leicestershire for the Inter Regional Junior Triathlon Championships on Sunday 6th September after being selected as one of the 12 triathletes to represent Yorkshire for the second time.

Competing as part of the Tri Star 3 boys team which also included Rueben Mantle (Bingley) and Fionn Kerry (Holmfirth), Dom swam, cycled and ran well eventually finishing a respectable 21st in his age group within a very competitive field just behind Fionn and Reuben. The Yorkshire Team for the second year running just missed out on the podium by 8 points to be placed 4th Team overall. One more chance next year hopefully for Dom!

Well done to Ben Smithson (10JDA) who as part of the Yorkshire U15s basketball team came away from the Lord Taverners National Junior Championships with a bronze medal.

Congratulations to Jamie Kidd (9PB) who competed in the City of Liverpool Open Championships in July. The tournament was attended by 300 competitors from the UK and Europe, at the Green Bank Sports Centre in Liverpool. Jamie picked up his third gold medal of the year in the 53kg Cadet Advanced category

Congratulations to Herbie Wilman (11AHF) who as part of his work experience at Multiflight Flying School (Leeds International Airport during the last Challenge and Celebration week undertook his first flying lesson.

Herbie wants to become a pilot and now has 40 mins flying time in his pilot’s log book as a result of the fantastic opportunity at Multiflight. This was a hugely inspirational placement which Herbie sourced himself.

Well done to Ella Grench-Cini (8AMB) who achieved a distinction in her LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art) public speaking exam just before the summer holidays.

Bravo to our latest music students who have enjoyed success in their recent music exams:

Emily Berry (10JPC) and Eleanor Dear (9PB) have both had successful auditions to the Saturday Music School at Leeds College of Music.

Lewis Wheelhouse (10JB) and Ellie Cooper (10JDA) both passed their Grade 4 Classical exam, Lewis achieved a distinction and Ellie was awarded with a merit.

Road Safety Advice Our number one priority is to ensure that our students are safe walking in, out and around the school premises. We are aware that the school is very busy at the start and the end of the school day. We are bordered by three roads – Cowpasture Road, Springs Lane and Wheatley Road - all three roads have a 30 mph speed limit. The traffic up and down Cowpasture Road is particularly heavy between 8.00am and 8.30am and this coincides with the vast majority of our students arriving along this road. There is a bus lay-by on Cowpasture Road for the school buses, arrival times are staggered to take account of the limited space. The gates on Cowpasture Road are surrounded by zig zag marking; this indicates you should not park directly outside of the school signs are also displayed detailing the parking restrictions. Parents must not drop off/pick up students within the school grounds unless you are permitted to use the disabled parking spaces; you are encouraged to find a safe location away from the school gates. Please exercise caution as you approach the school and think before you park. Inconsiderate parking causes congestion and also endangers lives. Care should also be taken as you leave the area around the school, particularly with darker mornings and afternoons when students are not always easy to see. Pedestrian access is via entrances on both Cowpasture Road and Springs Lane. There is a pedestrian crossing on Springs Lane for students to access the west entrance; pedestrians must not use the vehicle route on Springs Lane. There have been a few incidents this week with students stepping out onto Cowpasture Road without taking into account oncoming vehicles. Students have been reminded about their own road safety in this week’s in-form and we appreciate your support in following our parking restrictions.




Did you catch our Media students’ music video ‘Candyman’ before the holidays? If not you can watch it here . Molly Harris (13DXB) and Paige Holdsworth (13NPG) worked on the videos.
