Do you know the connection between all these places and Ilkley Grammar School?

We are running a competition, with 3 credits up for grabs (all important for super tutor group and certificate points for your IGS community), to the first person who correctly identifies each place’s link to IGS...are you up for the challenge?

You all know a sense of community is really important at Ilkley Grammar School, and it doesn’t stop at I, G and S Band...or even Ilkley for that matter! We are all part of a wider global community and as a school we have many connections with places further afield than Yorkshire

Our new community sign post has recently been installed just outside the new block and highlights places close to IGS’s heart.


Community Counts

Get Involved! Community Charity Day takes place in 2 weeks time and we hope you will all get involved by bringing in some spare change to donate to your community buckets which will be brought round by sixth form students during registration, break-time and lunchtime. The staff will be contributing to your community points by competing in an indoor hockey tournament which you can watch in the Sports Hall for a charitable donation. So if your think your tutor has some silky skills, recommend them to Miss Mitchell, Mr Cunningham or Mrs Knowles

All money raised will go to the Community Foundation for Calderdale. Flooding once again hit Calderdale during Boxing day 2015; this fund supports people who were affected.

Miss Mitchell, Mr Cunningham and Mrs Knowles.

Well played to our Key Stage 4 hockey players who took part in the mixed hockey match against Guiseley School this week. Sophie Armitage (10JB) has provided the match report.

‘Ilkley started well, getting used to the game play and each other's strength. After a few strong runs from Becky Hadfield (10JB), Ilkley broke through the Guiseley defence, resulting in a long corner from which Kirsty McMillan (10MEK) slipped the ball past the keeper for our first goal! During the second half Guiseley managed to equalise but not for long. Following a reverse stick run from Nisha Cant (10JK), Ollie Burton (10JDA) scored the second goal making it 2-1. Kirsty McMillan scored the final goal from a short corner to finish 3-1 to Ilkley.’

Bullying Myths and Facts Back in November you all dressed in blue to raise money for Children in Need and raise awareness for the #Wearitblue Anti Bullying Campaign. BullyingUK have pulled together some mythbusters to help everyone understand bullying and what is fact or fiction.

Myth: Bullying is a normal part of childhood and you should just ignore it Fact: Bullying is not "normal" or acceptable in any form and ignoring might not always make it stop. If you can, please confide in someone you trust such as a parent or teacher to help you get it stopped. Bullying can knock your self-esteem and confidence. Myth: It is ok to hit someone who is bullying you, it will stop it Fact: It’s understandable that you may be angry but if you were to get violent or aggressive it may make matters much worse as you may get into trouble too. Myth: Bullies are born this way, it’s in their genes Fact: Bullies often adopt this behaviour from their environment or sometimes, it’s a reaction from them being bullied by others. Whatever the case, it is not right. Myth: Bullying only happens in schools Fact: This is not the case at all, bullying can happen to anyone at any place. It may be out of school, at university or even college. It can happen when you are out with mates or on the way to or from school. Myth: You can spot a bully from the way they look and act Fact: There is no such thing as a way a bully looks or acts. There is no specific dress code or behaviour code. Myth: Online bullying is just banter and harmless Fact: People being bullied online is a very serious issue, the bullying can go viral very quickly and make the problem escalate. It is important to take a screenshot of any conversations, messages or posts that you feel are bullying so that you have a record. Myth: Cyberbullying doesn't involve physical harm so what's the harm? Fact: Some people have taken drastic measures as a result of not seeing any way out of the non-stop harassment, threats and abuses. The emotional scarring stays for a lot longer and sometimes a person will never get over this. Some websites allow people to post anonymously which can mean it is very hard to stop this abuse. Myth: Cyberbullying can only affect someone if they are online and have an account too Fact: This is not true, pages and fake accounts can be created without a person’s permission or knowledge. This sort of cyberbullying is on the increase and just as serious as any other form of bullying. Myth: It is not bullying if someone deletes the comment or post Fact: Regardless of hitting delete, once something is posted online is gets its own unique URL which means that it can stay on cyberspace even if you hit delete. Myth: If bullying was so bad, why don’t they have a law about it? Fact: Some forms of bullying are illegal and should be reported to the police including violence or assault, theft, repeated harassment or intimidation, e.g.threats and abusive phone calls, emails or text messages and hate crimes. Myth: Reporting a bully will make things worse Fact: You may worry that reporting a bully might make the bullying escalate or are concerned that you will not be believed. It is important to confide in someone you trust so that you can have some help in getting the necessary support to get this stopped. Myth: It is easy to spot the signs of bullying Fact: It is not always easy to spot the signs of bullying as it is not always physical and obvious. Emotional, verbal and online bullying can often leave scars that people don’t see. Myth: Children grow out of bullying Fact: Quite often children who bully may grow up to be adults who bully or use negative behaviour to get what they want, unless there has been intervention and their behaviour challenged by the relevant authorities, whether it be school or parents, etc.


Team IGS We are thrilled at Ilkley Grammar School to have a strong tradition of enthusiastic and successful sports teams covering a wide range of sporting activities. You represent the school in many competitions, sometimes nationwide, and as regular readers of ‘in-form’ will know, we love to celebrate your success. We have recently taken photos of all our Key Stage 3 sports’ teams and aim to decorate our corridors around our sporting facilities with these photos – celebrating our teams’ achievements. We would like to offer you and your parents the opportunity to purchase a team photo for £5 (2 for £8 or 3 for £10). The image will be printed on photographic paper and mounted in an A4 black mount. All Key Stage 3 team photos are available to view on our website here. If you are interested in buying a photo please follow these steps: 1. View the image on the website 2. Make a note of the Year and

team name e.g. Year 7 Football A Team

3. Using ParentPay choose the option Sports’ Photo enter the photo name(s) you would like to purchase and pay accordingly online.

The photos will then be forwarded to you via your tutor pigeon holes. We hope many of you take this opportunity to have a memento of your success and enjoy viewing our Sports Hall of Fame over the next few weeks.

Saturday 13 February – Sunday 21 February 10:00 - 16:00 Events are mostly free but booking required Come along to the National Media Museum this February half term and enjoy a week of events that explode with fiendish family fun. Investigate eerie eyesight with lots of disgusting, hands-on activities, shows and workshops. Watch sickly science demonstrations that are not for the faint-hearted; see the world in rainbow vision with spectacular specs; use terrible technology that helps us see microscopic monsters, and explore the sometimes shocking but always amazing eyeball. We'll bring music to your ears when we journey into the wonderful world of sound with hands-on experiments, real life scientists and much more. You can't afford to miss it.


Are you in a club taking part in exciting activities? Have you achieved success in the world of sport, drama, music, in the community or something else that you are proud of? Do you want an event publicised? Do you want to write or see articles on a particular topic? We would love to hear from you and include your news in future issues of in-form...
