Celebrating the Start of Summer On Thursday 25th June, our Creative Arts team staged a concert, under Head of Music, Mrs Chapman's direction, to celebrate the start of summer.

The sell-out event drew together the musical talents of our choirs, orchestras, samba band, small ensembles and soloists, alongside students from Ben Rhydding School and Ashlands School. The concert opened with Razzmatazz (Ashlands) performing ‘In the Mood’ and ‘Smoke on the Water’ followed by ethereal renditions of ‘The Lark in the Clear Air’ and ‘Shenandoah’ by the senior choir (led by Mrs Murray).

With musical pieces following from the super talented Anthony Gray on piano, samba band and funky flutes, the Transition Choir (comprising students from Ben Rhydding and Ashlands) brought the concert to its interval with a fabulous version of ‘Food, Glorious, Food’.

8. Parliament (capital P if a specific parliament)

9. parties (as in, several political parties)

10. party’s (as in, ‘the party’s success’)

11. success 12. whether

The concert moved from orchestral hits such as ‘The Hall of the Mountain King’ to more contemporary tunes with songs from Katy Perry and Pharell Williams. This included solos and group numbers and slick performances from the Wind Quartet and the Saxophone Quartet.

After a rousing rendition of ‘Skyfall’ by the Showstoppers Choir, the concert came to an end with a rendition of Milhaud’s ‘First Piano Sonata’ by Anthony Gray (13DGW). The concert was a complete joy. Every musician from Years 3-13 performed with energy, focus and a clear passion for music and pride in being part of the team. The 180 plus audience basked in the glow of this wonderful celebration of young people in our community.

Student Council 2014-15 The students comprising council this year have done a great job both collectively and individually representing the student body. Among the things discussed were:

Many thanks to all the Councillors for their hard work and dedication throughout the year.

Let’s hope new elections in September will continue this work.

Have you got what it takes? A few ideas and a commitment to attend a fortnightly meeting is all you need!

The provision of a fantastic new shelter, kindly donated by the PTA for our students in Key Stage 3.

The construction of a series of football pitches used by all year groups on the courts.

Liaison with the school catering company ‘Eat Smart’ regarding choice of livery and menus.

Trialling of more durable cases for iPads with the aim of reducing damage.

Congratulations to all our rounders players who took part in the Year 9 and 10 Inter Tutor group Competition. Both tournaments were brilliantly competed in glorious weather with the matches finishing:

Year 9: 1st - 9MWC, 2nd - 9HM, 3rd - 9MEK and JB, 5th - 9CW, 6th - 9JP, 7th - 9KL, 8th - 9ALC and 9th-9GPS. Year 10: 1st - 10JI, 2nd - 10LSL, 3rd - 10AHF and CT, 5th - 10HGW, 6th - 10BJS, 7th - 10SMD, 8th - 10LO and 9th - 10JLF.

Well done to all our Ball Girls and Boys who were presented with their Aegon Ilkley Tournament medals this week from representatives from Ilkley Tennis Club. Their dedication, hard work and positive attitude over the week was really appreciated by the club.

Bravo to Alice Wriglesworth (10HGW) and James Flanagan (11PB), both GCSE music students, who have been accepted onto the Yorkshire Young Musician scheme based at the Leeds College of Music after a recent audition.

Alice, a Bassoonist in both the School Senior Orchestra and the Leeds Youth Orchestra, is a very talented student and deserves her place on this prestigious course. James is a fantastic pianist and guitarist and a loyal member of the Senior Orchestra too.

Harry Smith (10BJS), Callum Graham (10BJS), Matthew Spencer (9JP), Ollie Burton (9ALC), Antonia Fern (9MWC), Sophie Armitage (9JB), Kirsty McMillan (9MEK), Ellie Cooper (9ALC) and Bea Waller (9MEK) will also be accompanying the Year 8s as team managers.

Well done to Hetty Shaw (10JLF), Imogen Parton (9JB), Sophia Richards (9JB), Callum Gibbons (9MWC), Alice Chadwick (9JB), Antonia Fern (9MWC), Caitlan Rhodes (9GPS), Imogen Brodaty (9GPS), Esme Pearce (9GPS), Harry Watson (9KL) and Cameron Garner (9JB) who all took part in the Language Perfect Competition, which attracts a worldwide audience. The competition involves over 1,000 schools and 300,000 students from around the world all earning points to learn vocabulary in foreign languages. Our team of linguist achieved some fantastic results. Hettie Shaw came in the top 2% of all competitors from around the world and received a Gold certificate, Caitlan Rhodes came in the top 5% and secured Silver, Antonia Fern came in the top 10% with a Bronze certificate and Sophia Richards in the top 20% receiving a Credit. Ms Williams and Mrs Kitchen presented Imogen Brodaty, Hetty Shaw and Caitlan Rhodes with their certificates.


Magnificent Mathematicians! After the Intermediate Maths Challenge early this year, six of our students performed so well that they qualified to be amongst the UK participants in the international Maths Kangeroo. From Year 9 Matthew Hall (9CW), Jamie Spiller (9KL) and Sophie Armitage (9JB) qualified for their age category and Matthew even finished amongst the top 25% nationally to receive a merit certificate.

From our amazing Year 11s James Flanagan (11PB), Rebecca Hall (11ACD) and Nathan Spiller (11VEB) all received a merit certificate. An astounding achievement. Well done to them all! Further congratulations to Jamie Spiller (9KL), Nathan Foster (9MWC), Euan Savage (9HM), Jasper Evans (9HM) who took part in the Edge Hill Mathematics Finals at Edge Hill University, Ormskirk on Wednesday 1st July and came second (The Newton Prize). This is quite an achievement as it is a national competition which hundreds of schools enter and over several months there are 3 rounds. In the final round today the boys were up against the 30 remaining schools. As well as solving and presenting some high level maths problems, the boys have been committed enough to give up over a terms worth of lunchtimes (and a few evenings) in order to get this far. As expected the boys were fantastic ambassadors for our school on what was a very hot day.

The Newton Prize Winners 2015


‘Opening up the Book’ Art Exhibition in Sheffield You know we love celebrating your success in in-form, this week we are also celebrating the achievements of our Reprographics Technician, Mr Cockshaw. He is making his second foray into Art Curating later this summer by staging a thought-provoking show of internationally acclaimed artists and writers at Bank Street Arts Gallery in Sheffield to run throughout September. The show will form part of a festival of book arts called ‘Opening up the Book’ organised by the gallery with support from Sheffield Hallam University, Arts Council England and other organisations. Within this festival Mr Cockshaw is independently curating an exhibition titled ‘Evil In The Shining Light’ across two gallery spaces that takes inspiration primarily from the works of JRR Tolkien. The featured artists joining him will be Soni Alcorn-Hender, Tomas Hijo, Jay Johnstone, Tsvetelina Krumova, Ted Nasmith and Katarzyna Chmiel-Gugulska and will display a range of work in lino-print, graphite, paint, photography and calligraphy. In response to the position that much fantasy art is stale, kitsch and garish it is intended that this exhibition will reveal a scholarly and contemporary approach to visualising this genre of Art, specifically focusing on JRR Tolkien’s Middle-earth saga The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

Guest contributors include Writer Marcel Aubron-Bülles (thetolkienist.com) and Leeds-based Archaeologist Shaun Richardson who will extend the scholarly content of the show in interesting and unexpected ways. A second element of the exhibition focusses on the moving image and the fantasy/Science Fiction genres combined with the graphic novel book format. In association with Indie publisher Luna Press Publishing John Cockshaw and Writer Robert S. Malan will screen a 12 minute short video collaboration ‘The Sign of the Shining Beast’ at the gallery. This video project has simultaneously been developed as a graphic novel/photography book and is set to be released at a book launch by Luna Press at the Mancunicon Sci-Fi convention, Central Manchester in 2016. This exhibition will form just one part of a whole three-month festival of book arts in Sheffield and will also coincide with the release of two books this summer that John has been involved in with Canadian-based publisher Oloris Publishing for the past two years: an art volume of his own work and an illustrated book of poetry by Poet Janet Nelson-Alvarez.

View a 2 minute taster video about the exhibition opening in Sheffield https://vimeo.com/131785893 and watch Mr Cockshaw read extracts of Janet Nelson-Alvarez’s poetry set to original artwork https://vimeo.com/120506630. Keep an ear to the ground in the Autumn term as he hopes to have a copy of each newly released book up for grabs as part of a give-away...watch this space!

Well done to all our actors and singers who made it through the auditions of our up coming production of Oliver. The final casting decisions were hard to make as the interest in the show was phenomenal and the acting and singing talent at IGS is incredible! The cast list was released last Friday (to a waiting corridor full of budding actors). Good luck with your rehearsals!

Active Learn Feedback Senior Project Editor Andy Solway and Platform Lead Veronica Cucuiat from Pearsons the publishers, based in Oxford, visited Year 9 students this week to demonstrate the improvements they have made to Active Learn since the students contacted them with feedback. They reported that they 'were impressed by your helpful and highly articulate students'.

The students were delighted to see that many of the problems they identified in the software have now been addressed and had a preview of the latest version before it is released nationally later in the summer.

'Active Learn', which uses the iPad, has been trialled by students in Key Stage 3 this year to develop writing skills. With the promised improvements, we are looking forward to rolling it out further next year.

Mr Cass

Bin it! Please use the bins provided and do eat in corridors or on the play courts.

Mr Calvert

The final instalment for the current Year 8 Belgium Trip in October is due by the 10th July 2015. Payments should be made via our Parentpay system.


Inspire me! Thank you to all of you who were involved with the Learning Forum Showcase event on 29th June. The focus was on what makes inspirational teaching and learning; the Courtyard Café was decorated with balloons and the bunting was made by some of you, who had written short pieces about how you have been inspired to learn at IGS. Students then demonstrated to staff how they like to play games with an educational focus to help them learn and revise in an active way. It was great to see so many of our teachers there alongside visiting teachers from South Craven School and Harrogate Grammar School, both partners with IGS in the Red Kite Alliance partnership.
