Wow...what a first couple of weeks our new Year 7s have had!

They have settled down fantastically as a year group and seem

to be enjoying lessons. This week saw them head off to Nell

Bank Activity Centre. I and G band have already enjoyed their

visit, S Band will head down on Friday.

They have been focussed on getting involved (one of their

Green Tie Values!) and have been building new friendships

and becoming part of their Learning Community.

Good luck to S band on Friday...we’re sure you will enjoy it as

much as I and G Band!

Key Stage 3 Clubs Fair It was great to see so many of you at the Clubs’ Fair on Tuesday, there was a great atmosphere in P Hall and an enormous selection of clubs on offer from coding to creative writing and sports to strategy clubs. Did you join up and join in? Don’t worry it’s never to late to join a club. Details of all extra curricular activities are included on the following two pages.

Mr Washington

Please take care during lunch and break times to ensure your litter ends up in the right place...a bin! There are sufficient bins in both the Courtyard Café and B Hall to ensure that eating areas are left litter free after lunchtimes. Can we remind you that the Year 9 Centre is for Year 9 only and students enjoying the use of this space must treat it with respect...sitting on seats and not on the floor. Can we also ask you not to use C8 as a short cut to the Courtyard Café...it is a classroom not a corridor! Persistent litter offenders will be dealt with via our PB system.

Mr Calvert

Uniform Matters You all know how important we think uniform is at Ilkley Grammar School and this week we are particularly interested in your ties! We are proud of our school crest and want to see it proudly displayed on all ties. Are you unsure about how to wear your tie? Here’s a quick guide on how to avoid a comment:

Challenge and Celebration Week 2016 All Key Stage 3 students must hand in their Challenge and celebration

week option forms into their tutors no later than Monday 21st September and all deposits must be uploaded to Parentpay by Friday

25th September.

European Day of Languages Saturday 26th September is European Day of Languages and every year students studying Modern Foreign Languages get the chance to do something a bit different in class that week. This year it will be celebrated in school on Wednesday 23rd September – a date to add to your diary! The EU has designated this day to celebrate cultural diversity and we will lay on a host of activities for you. For example, you will have the opportunity to answer the register in an array of European languages and carry out a variety of fun and informative activities in lessons. This year, Year 7 will be able to try dishes from around Europe as a local business will be hosting a sampling session of traditional Spanish dishes. This day will provide you with an excellent opportunity, to throw yourselves enthusiastically into the tasks demonstrating what good European citizens you are.

Mr Kehoe

Ilkley Juniors Need You! Ilkley Juniors Girls’ U15 football team are looking for new players to join their squad.

IGS 15 v 0 Settle IGS 10 v 0 Skipton Academy

Year 8 Rugby

Well done to Matthew Revis (9SP) who captained his Yorkshire team to win the English Schools’ Under 13 Cricket Festival at Taunton in the summer holidays. The White Rose team went through the tournament unbeaten in their five matches.

Opener Matthew, hit three half-centuries as he contributed 239 runs to his team's cause with an average of 59.75.

His highest score was 96 in the emphatic 192-run win over Shropshire. Matthew’s other half-centuries came against Derbyshire and Cambridgeshire. He made 53 on both occasions, finishing not out against Cambridgeshire when Yorkshire won by ten wickets. That match also saw him record his best bowling performance of the week as he picked up 3-16.

Results: Yorkshire 241-5 (M Revis 52), Derbyshire 163-6 (M Revis 2-16); Northants 201 (M Revis 1-13), Yorkshire 202-3 (M Revis 5); Yorkshire 222-8 (M Revis 32), Staffordshire 125-8; Cambridgeshire 99 (M Revis 3-16), Yorkshire 103-0 (M Revis 53no); Yorkshire 270-6 (M Revis 96) Shropshire 78.

Over 200 other students, form all over the country, will join Matthew every Saturday at the Junior Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester.
