Takeover Challenge Day was a fun, hugely
successful
and
exciting
student
engagement project where we opened
our doors to students to take over adult
roles.
The day saw 27 students in decision-making
positions, giving them an insight into the world
of work.
Congratulations and well done to all the
students who took part, in the words of Lord
Sugar...they were hired!

Manners are important in the lunch time queue; any student misbehaving will be sent to the back of the
queue. Rotating lunchtime sittings are for Years 7, 8 and 9 only. Years 10 and 11 have optional sittings.
Bags must not be taken into B Hall at lunchtime unless they contain essential medication (i.e. Epipen or
Diabetic equipment).
Review Day
Monday 30th November is our annual Review Day. Students will only be in school for their appointment and
no school buses will run that day - students need to make their own way to and from school. All students
must attend their appointment, unless they are ill and not fit for school. They must also attend in school
uniform at a time allocated by their tutors and the process will take approximately half an hour. Each year
group has received specific instructions from their Year Leader about producing a presentation for their tutor.
Last year, many parents/carers viewed the presentation ahead of Review Day so as to assist their children
with their learning, and we would encourage you to please do this again this year. Click here to see more
information on ‘My Learning’ (Year 7-9) and ‘My Next Steps’ (Year 10-11)
We would be grateful if you could then sign their planner once you have seen the final presentation. Students
are expected to undertake independent learning during the rest of the day. Examples of independent
learning are available here on the school website, by Curriculum area, if you have any further questions
please contact the Key Stage Hubs.
All Year 12 and selected Year 13 Students must attend their allocated appointments with their tutor. The
process will take approximately 45 mins. Year 13 students who have not completed their UCAS application or
CV will be expected to meet with their tutor and complete their form/CV in school. It is expected that all Post
16 students undertake independent learning at home or in the study facilities in school during the day.
However, some Year 12 and 13 students would benefit from time to catch up with outstanding work and they
will be expected to complete their work in the Post 16 Centre. These students will be notified by their tutor.
Some students may wish to take the opportunities of further support which will be available at times during
the day. The study facilities are available to all students all day.

Well done to our senior A
and B netball teams who
played Bradford Grammar
School on Monday. The
senior A team were
victorious 16-6 and the
senior B team drew 1212.
Congratulations to Emily Ackroyd (8PO) who
recently took her Level 5 ISTD (Imperial
Society for Teachers of Dancing) Ballet and
character exam at All Saints Primary School.
Emily attends the Wright Theatre Arts and
Dance Academy. For the exam, Emily
performed some set exercises at the bar and
she achieved a distinction.
Well done to our U13 boys’ cricket team who travelled to Holmfirth for the West Yorkshire U13 boys’
Indoor cricket finals. Their task was to finish the day as league winners in order to progress to the county
finals at Headingley in March. The obstacles in their way came in the form of Holmfirth High School and
two representatives from Wakefield with the four schools competing in a round-robin tournament.
Ilkley’s players began in determined manner as they built a very respectable 116 for 6 against Wakefield
A in their first 8 over innings. Their opponents’ 71 for 5 fell well short of the target and captain, Max
Rogers, quickly turned his attention to Wakefield B. As anticipated, Ilkley’s players were far too strong for
their second string opponents and could not have demonstrated their prowess more emphatically as they
produced a record score of 153 for 0 before going on to dismiss the Wakefield reserve side for 44.
A top quality clash against arch-rivals Holmfirth High proved once again to be the match of the day as the
visitors won the all important toss and invited their hosts to bat first and set a total. Arthur Turner, James
Patchett and Max Rogers, bowled with such accuracy and speed as to put a stranglehold on Holmfirth’s
batters. This, together with exceptional fielding all over the pitch, resulted in Holmfirth being restricted to
an under-par 78 for 5. Despite an early scare, Ilkley’s middle order guided the team home with plenty of
balls to spare to round off an outstanding day’s work. The players are now looking forward to the
challenge of emulating the current IGS Year 10 squad who finished the 2013-14 season as indoor and
outdoor county champions.
The team, managed capably by Sports’ Leaders’ Oliver Burton (10JDA) and Matthew Spencer (10JPC) was:
Max Rogers Capt. (8ASH); Josh Hall (8MEH); James Patchett (8MEH); Will Hughes (8MEH); Tom Hills
(8MEH); Issac Luffman (8MEH); Arthur Turner (8MH); Harry Strachan (8LNR) and Rhys Samuels (8LNR).
Congratulations to Alex Mallinson (7AWD) who
took part in the ‘Thought Bubble Competition’
organised by the Leeds Comic Art Festival. The
Festival ran between 9-15 November.
Entrants submitted an A3, portrait aspect page,
telling a single story using a minimum of 6 panels.
Alex’s comic strip ‘Summer? Not Yeti’ won first
prize in the under 18 category with entries from
all over the country! Alex will see her comic
published in 2016s ‘Thought Bubble Anthology’
worldwide by Image Comics, and is enjoying the
spoils of her labour…£200 worth of comics and
graphic novels from Travelling Man and Diamond
Comics.

Can We Have Some More?
Rehearsals are well under way for our forthcoming
production of Oliver. The story begins as Oliver leaves the
hardship of the workhouse and is sold into an
apprenticeship by Mr. Bumble. Bumble, played by Harri
Pitches (13AH), adds terrific comedic effect with his
impressive sense of his own dignity and continually
mangling the King's English!
Escaping from life with the undertakers, the
Sowerberrys, Oliver’s adventure really starts
as he travels to London where he meets the
Artful Dodger a member of a gang of juvenile
pickpockets, led by the elderly criminal Fagin,
Lucy Carter (13JI). There are some fantastic
character parts: the innocent foundling
Oliver, Jamie Rimmington (8ELC); the
mischievous Artful Dodger, Matthew Hodson
(9DSF); the good woman, Nancy, Leona
McLoughlin (11JLF) who falls for the
archetypal Victorian bad boy, Bill Sykes,
Ethan Thompson (12AJK). The Victorian
Drama is played out to some of the best
known songs from a musical including the
crowd pleasing ‘Food, Glorious, Food’ and the
jovial ‘Consider Yourself’ to the emotional
solo ‘Where is Love?’, which guarantees not a
dry eye in the house.

Students from all years are included in the production and the backstage crew. Oliver takes place on 2 nd, 3rd
and 4th of December, 7pm, tickets priced £8/4 (concession) are available from Reception and the KS Hubs.
Good luck to our production company who head off to Ingleborough on their drama residential on Thursday!

Sign Language Course
We had a fantastic response to our sign
language course and the successful
students and staff who made it on to
the limited number sessions had their
first taste of sign language last week.
Staff and students all thoroughly enjoyed
themselves and started to develop their
new skill very quickly. It was really
interesting - no books, no worksheets, no
iPads, no PowerPoint, no voice! Just the
sign language teacher and a black marker
pen, yet everyone learnt so much and they
are all looking forward to next week.

behaviour on the school buses
is the same standard as their
behaviour at school...always
their Personal Best.

some fantastic feedback from a
Relief Duty Manager

Transdev Keighley who recently
covered the I12.
Our students were polite and
well behaved, a credit to the
school!

Dear Sirs,
I am a Relief Duty Manager at Transdev Keighley. Yesterday
(10/11/15) I was tasked with driving service I12 today due to the
unavailability of the regular driver. Oh no thought I (or words to
that effect) not another school run!
However, having now operated this service I am writing to say how
wrong I was in my initial reaction.
Your pupils were so polite and well behaved, it was a pleasure for
me to be driving the bus! I did thank the young people before they
started to alight, and told them I thought they were a credit to both
themselves and to your school, such was the good impression they
made.
Assuming all your pupils behave in this manner, the next time I am
tasked with driving a school bus, I will ask if it is an Ilkley Grammar
one, if the answer is affirmative, I will look forward to doing so.
Kind regards,
Edward Walters

Primary Maths Quiz
The 7th annual Primary Maths
Quiz took place on Tuesday
17th November. We had
teams of Year 6 students from
All Saints, Ashlands, Ben
Rhydding, Burley Woodhead,
Menston and Sacred Heart all
battling it out for the top spot.
The tasks were challenging
but some great team work,
reasoning and mathematical
knowledge from all teams
produced some excellent
scores.
After the first round it was incredibly close with three of
the teams tied in second place! The lead kept changing
hands throughout the event with the final placings
being ... in third place was Burley Woodhead, in second
we had All Saints and our overall winners were Menston.
A very big well done to all who took part and a big thank
you to the Year 9 students who came along to help the
event run smoothly.
Thank You!
Thank you and goodbye to Caroline Whitaker
(Chairperson) and Julie Brett (Treasurer) who have
both stepped down form the PTA.
They attended their final meeting, the PTA AGM this
week and we took the opportunity to thank them both
for all their hard work with the PTA by presenting
them with flowers.
