Everyone rose to the challenge this year for Children in Need. We used a blue theme as our non-uniform and supported the Anti Bullying #Wearitblue Campaign alongside raising money for Children in Need.

Whether students donated to not wear their uniform, dressed up and took part in the three legged race, built Pudseys from loose change, held or bought something from a bake sale or took part in a Children in Need event outside of school...they all took part. Thank you for helping us to raise a staggering...

£2067 ...and that’s not including the Year 8 three legged walk

sponsorship and the Year 7 Penny Pudsey money!


Our students took part in a whole range of activities.

We had sponge the tutor (60.30), Pudsey bears were built out of loose change and all students

could buy a cake from the iLeaders at the bake stall at break time

(raising £118.07)


Year 7 raised money by building Pudsey Bears out of the loose change they had collected. We are still counting this money!


Our Year 8 fundraisers dressed in blue or as

heroes and took part in their 3 legged walk.

Well done to Sophie Allman (8AMD) who

organised a sponsored silence and raised £112.


Our Post 16 students took on the teachers and support staff in their annual

basketball grudge match.

There’s a lot at stake for this...but mostly pride! Students paid to watch the very close match but the game ended in the students favour...again 22-17!


Dinner Time Rota (No Bags in B Hall)

Sitting 2 From 12.40pm

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).

Stay Safe 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. This is also important when students leave/parents collect from after school activities...as a pedestrian you cannot be seen by cars on this small and concealed vehicle route.


Community Counts

Well done to G3, overall team winners:

Danny Leach (9HED/KE), Ellie Cooper (10JDA),

Oscar Vaughan (7MPC), Matthew Abel (8ELC) and Mrs Lister!


‘Quote Me!’ Before summer we asked our students to send in their best quotes that represented their tie values. The most effective quotes have been used for a new display in school. Take a look next time you are on B Floor (just outside the Maths Office). We used:

Resilient Participator

Happy Tolerant

Aspirational Courageous

to form the first of our Vision and Values displays. Over the next few weeks more quote posters will appear around school, reminding all students what it means to be at IGS.


On Saturday 7th November four teams from IGS travelled to Chesterfield to run in the second round of the ESAA cross country cup competition. All of the teams were eyeing up a top three finish in their age category to achieve a record third consecutive trip for IGS to the national final, this year held in Bedford on the 5th December.

The inter girls’ team, consisting of only Year 9s in a Year 9/10 category, got the day off to a flying start with a 2nd place for Bethan Morley (9PDH). She was supported by Rachel Scott (9PDH) 11th, Ella Shouler-Harris (9SL) 17th, Elise Crabtree (9DSF) 25th and Hannah Marshall (9PB) 41st. With a team score of 55 they qualified in 3rd place, securing their ticket to the final!

The junior boys’ and junior girls’ team finished in 7th (out of 13) and 6th (out of 12) respectively. These races were very competitive and despite very tough weather conditions there were some stand out performances from Adam Mitchell (8AMB) 8th and Caitlin Oddie (8AMB) 9th. Similarly to the first race, Adam and Caitlin were joined by some hardy IGS pupils who fought through the wind and the rain. Bernadette Raven (8PO), Ella Hammond (8ELC), Katie Meredith (8RRG), Charlotte Elston (7TJB), Reuben Foster (8ELC), Ashley Leach (7FEA), Nathan Coy (7FEA), Archie Minto (8AMB) and Tom Jackson (8AMB).

The race day concluded with an outstanding performance from the IGS inter boys’ team. Dominic Coy (9SP), a younger runner within the category finished in an impressive 3rd. Cameron Reilly (10JB) quickly followed in 6th; George Dey (10MWC) 11th; Joe Haigh (10LV) put in a sprint finish to 14th place; Robbie Matthews (9PB) 17th and Harry Barker (10MEK) in 22nd. With a great team score IGS were already celebrating prior to the announcement of the 2nd place overall. Four weeks of additional running practice with Mr Carr and Mrs Knowles now await these finalist. Good luck!

Congratulations to Emily Field (9LAM) who took part in the Southampton Invitational Diving Competition last weekend. Due to a previous elbow injury this was Emily’s first platform competition for 18 months in which she has been able to dive from the higher boards. She performed in the 14/15 age group. It was a large field made up of some of the best divers in the country. After 5 of 7 dives, with some excellent diving, she was in 5th position but dropped to 13th after her penultimate dive failed to go to plan. Emily was pleased with her overall performance and will look to improve in the next competition.

Good luck to Miss Davies (PE) who heads off to America on Monday to compete in the Weightlifting World Championships.

Netball News It’s been a mixed bag of results this week for our netball teams. Our Senior A Team beat Titus Salt School on Monday, 28-4 but the U15s lost to Parkside 32-9 on the same day. The U15 Player of the match was awarded to Kirsty McMillan (10MEK).

Well done to our U13 girls’ football team who took part in their central venue fixtures on Tuesday night. They won all 3 of their matches and played brilliantly. Player of the night went to Ella Hammond.

Well played to our 1st XV rugby team who competed against Queen Elizabeth Grammar School (QEGS) in the third round of the NatWest Cup on Wednesday 11th November. The full squad played on top form: Will Rice-Birchall (12EM); Tom Newton (12RN); Sam Crocombe (12SSS); Rory Milligan (13AH); Josh Bye (13DK); Rowan Barker (12SSS); Cam McIntyre (12AJK); Ben Pickersgill (13EM), Louis Rose-Fall (12TG); George Pickersgill (13EM); Ben Lulham-Robinson (12SLG); Joe Hawdon (13NPG); Henry Illingworth (13EM); Sam Hadfield (12PPB); Tom Atkinson (12JLP); Louis Brow (11SLL); Harry Smith (11BJS); Finley Meegan (11JI); Ben Illingworth (11LO); Charlie Franks (11HGW) and Will Langan (11AHF). Unfortunately luck wasn’t on our side and the match finished QEGS 29-10 IGS.

It’s a 10 from IGS! Whilst the country is embracing this year’s Strictly Come Dancing series, IGS has their very own ballroom champion to celebrate. Meg Lenehan (12PPB) has just competed in the annual National ISTD Ballroom and Latin Grand Finals at The Winter Gardens Empress Ballroom in Blackpool. Competing in the Junior Gold Star Ballroom and Latin events on Saturday 31st October, Meg danced the Tango in Ballroom to be awarded 1st place. She also danced the Rumba in Latin on the same grade to be awarded 4th place. Sunday was another day of competition in which she reached the semi finals of the Sequence 3 Dance. Overall, a fantastic weekend for Meg and what a culmination for all her hard work. Meg has been a student of Windsor Ballroom in Bradford since she was 8 years old and has studied the ISTD Dance Syllabus in Modern Ballroom, Latin and Sequence Dance taking annual examinations in all these disciplines. Over the past few years, Meg has assisted in the Dance School helping both the children and adult classes. She also danced with the younger pupils at Blackpool. Well done Meg!

Well done to Dominic Coy (9SP) who took part in last weekend’s Ilkley Cyclo Cross. Representing Ilkley Cycling Club and racing in the U14 category, Dominic secured a 3rd place.
