Our Open Day took place on Wednesday 30th September and it was wonderful to see so many of you there alongside new parents. Morning visitors were taken around the school by 8AMD who acted as very informative tour guides. The feedback we have received, both written and verbal, was extremely positive. Our visitors always comment on how well our students speak so articulately and proudly about our school.

In the evening the displays in classrooms ranged from the scientific and fiery to the dramatic. We had entertaining and interactive displays in all our subject areas: an International Café, Friends of Ham feeding visitors to the MFL rooms, the National Rotary Club Young Chef Competition, a variety of sports on show, rehearsals for our school production ‘Oliver’ and our Science team brought science to life with entertaining and fact filled explanations of all things scientific. The Maths department created a human scatter graph, our CAD and ICT suites were full of students working hard and interested parents watching them design and create. Our Humanities team put on a whole host of activities from Facebook detecting to digging for artefacts in history. Our English team, using the theme of National Poetry Day 'light', asked visitors to write a metaphor about light onto a flame and add it to the poetry fire. As everybody's creative writing was added to the bonfire it created an overall metaphor for learning. On a creative note, our art rooms were full of students and visitors taking part in the National Big Draw Competition...what an evening!

Our visitors praised our students maturity, smartness, courtesy and smiles. Our students are our best advert; we know that we will yet again have the high numbers of applicants for places in Year 7 for next September.

For the last two years, IGS has had a great deal of success using the skills of William ‘Billy’ McGown. An ex-professional boxer, trained fitness professional and counsellor, Billy works with a number of students who have been carefully selected according to their identified individual needs. Billy worked alongside John Wells, an Educational Psychologist and together they looked at the emotional, social and psychological benefits, of a boxing regime.

Billy spends time getting to know the students, working through their emotions and identifying how he can help and support them individually. He helps students understand the importance of fitness and a healthy lifestyle regime, including diet, exercise and an understanding of physical and lifestyle issues. He also helps them to identify and make proactive lifestyle choices and raises awareness of the balance between physical and emotional fitness in order to achieve a student’s full potential and desired goals. The benefits of his sessions for the student, using boxing as a therapeutic tool, are stress relief, anxiety prevention as well as providing a safe and controlled environment for anger to be released, and increased emotional resilience. He provides the students with strategies to cope with stressful situations, promotes their self-awareness and awareness of others as well as enhancing their confidence and self-esteem. Some of the benefits we have seen include: positioning students to put them in a ‘better place’ to access their education; breaking down barriers to learning, and students’ focus is improved and concentration increases.

One Year 8 student said of their sessions with Billy...

The Write Stuff Newly published crime fiction writer, Alison Baillie, talked to students in our creative writing club this week. Alison, accompanied by her friend Rowena Harbour, are both ex Ilkley Grammar School students from the class of '65. They were thrilled to be back and delighted to take questions from our budding young writers. Alison talked about her inspiration for her novel 'Sewing the Shadows Together' which gets its title from a line in DH Lawrence's poem 'Bat'. She first came across the poem in an English lesson at the school!

As Alison and Rowena walked back to reception they commented on how intelligent and perceptive the students were in asking their questions. Amongst other memories, Alison also reminisced how her older sister had once rescued Alan Titchmarsh from the school swimming pool!

Well done to our senior netball teamed who played in the Bradford District Netball Tournament last week. The Senior A Team (Year 13) won all of their games, and the Senior B team (Year 12) only lost to the Senior A team. Both teams beat Bradford Grammar School and played fantastically throughout all games. The girls impressed everyone with their performances.

Senior A Team – Winner Senior B Team – Runners-up The full squad were: Rosie Shouler-Harris (13JLI), Eleanor Pilling (11JLF), Grace Malir (13JLI), Alex Murray (11CT), Amelia Fowler (13DXB), Johanna Murray (13JLI), Hollie Morris (13PC), Ella Glover (12LCM), Lucy Jacques (12LCM), Bella Forbes (12SLG), Laura King (12SLG), Cara Woods (12SSS), Milly Horn (12LCM), Eva Atraszkiewicz (12RN), Harriet Jackson (12LCM) and Maya Booton (12AJK).

What a Difference a Fortnight Makes! Congratulations to our Year 9 rugby team who played 4 matches in the White Rose Schools’ Rugby Se-ries on Tuesday night. The result was a real turnaround from their last matches 2 weeks ago, when they played the same opponents but struggled to show their true ability. The results on Tuesday were: IGS 35 v 0 Settle School IGS 25 v 15 Bingley Grammar School IGS 20 v 5 South Craven School IGS 25 v 10 Ermysteads (2wks ago South Craven beat us 50-0)

Well done to Jonathan Kelly (9PB) who scored his first ever try for IGS after only starting to play rugby 3 weeks ago. It was brilliant to see such determination and resilience in our team, they didn’t give up and proved the path to success is to ‘try and try’ again...true Yorkshire grit!

Congratulations to our Year 10 football Team who played Benton Park School on Thursday night, they were victorious 5-3...great game boys!

Well played to our Year 10 football Team who played Guiseley last Thursday, they were victorious IGS 6—2 Guiseley...great start to the season boys!

Congratulations to Sam Naylor (11HGW) who took part in the recent Ilkley Triathlon. Sam raced in the team event and took on the challenge of the swim leg.

He finished the swim in a time of 6mins 27.8 seconds, which included 2 extra, unrequired lengths, swimming 550m instead of 500m. Sam recorded the second fastest swim time (by 0.15 seconds) and would have been the fastest swimmer if he had swum the 500m required!

Well done to Jemima Elgood (12RN), Sarah Pickering (12TG), Lucy Williamson (13DK), Lucy Jacques (12LCM) and Joanne Williamson (13EM) who took part in the English Schools’ Fellrunning Championship at Calder High School , Mytholmroyd on Sunday 27th September.

Some of our Post 16 Business and Economic students attended the ‘Thrive Yorkshire’ event at The Craiglands Hotel last week. The event is in its second year and is a Business Growth Conference.

The event included a Q&A session about ‘Positive Image’ led by Tina Boden, co-founder of Enterprise Rockers with our A Level students. It was a terrific opportunity for our students to see the variety of businesses in the Yorkshire region. The curriculum links to branding and marketing in the presentation have enabled students to really see how these principles operate in the community. Hopefully the speakers and the event in general gave them a taste what goes on in the world of small business.

Thrive Yorkshire

MFL Raffle Winners The winners of the MFL Open Evening Raffle were: 1st prize bottle of prosecco and lady fingers (Mrs Corbett), 2nd prize panettone and espresso coffee (Charlotte Witham in MFL) and 3rd prize bottle of prosecco (Mr Radcliffe of MFL). Despite two members from the MFL team winning prizes, rest assured the draw was held in controlled conditions with impartial observers making sure that fair play prevailed! The raffle raised £45 for the charity Medecins sans Frontières.
