Community Charity Day We asked our students to dig deep...into their pockets this week...and they didn’t disappoint. On Wednesday our iLeaders collected their loose change. I, G and S Band all contributed to the fundraising for two charities. We collected money for Yorkshire Flood Relief and SEN Ethiopia (an Ilkley based charity working in blind schools in Ethiopia). They raised: I Band - £171.59; G Band - £182.65 and S Band - £171.10 making a grand total of £525.34.
At lunchtime your teachers Battled it out on the hockey pitch, a lot was at stake, not least Community Pride. Thank you to all of you who paid a contribution to watch the nail biter.

Mrs Knowles and Miss Mitchell both looked the
part leading out their teams...

Standing strong, Mr Cunningham is the last line of defence between Miss Knowles and the goal!
G Band resort to intimidation tactics...2 against 1...I Band are backed into a corner!
Mr Rignall proves to be a fast learner in the subject of hockey!

Options 2016 Over the next few weeks and months Year 8 and 9 students will be going through their options process. The main timescales are included below, including dates for the distribution of booklets and deadlines for handing forms in. This is an exciting time for students who get the opportunity to tailor make their own timetable...to a degree!

Well done to our U14 netballers who travelled to Beckfoot on Tuesday. It was a fantastic win for the U14A Netball team, beating Beckfoot 25-7. The girls have made a fantastic start and played extremely well.
Players of the match were Emily Dover (9HED) and Rachel Scott (9PDH).
Our U14A team captain Emily Dover has provided the match report below;
‘On Thursday 26th January we played a home match against Beckfoot School. The first quarter ended with a good lead to us at 10-0, this really gave us the confidence to carry on playing at this standard throughout the remainder of the match. Our shooting was really accurate and the centre and defensive elements of the game were really strong. The final score was 25-7 to IGS.’

Our PTA Needs You! We are on the lookout for new members to join our PTA...are you up for the challenge of Mission Possible?
Remember it’s still not too late to make a donation to our ‘Auction of Promises’. Last year we raised £2700...can we beat it this year?
The money the PTA raises goes to all sorts of things in school. Last year we benefitted from: a new outside shelter for KS3; a piano; microphones; an artefacts trolley for RE; football goals for the courts and microscopes for the Biology Labs just to name a few!
The ‘Auction of Promises’ is a big highlight on the fundraising calendar as are the car boot sales. These kind of events can only take place with your help! Please get in touch [email protected].
