The government's guidance changed on May 11th to state that they are now "encouraging all eligible children to attend settings (where there are no shielding concerns for the child or their household), even if parents are able to keep their children at home." IGS is therefore open for all children within these categories. If you believe your child is eligible and you wish to take up a place at school then please get in touch. Our front office will have someone there until 3pm each day dealing with enquiries, and phones are monitored until 4pm.

As a comprehensive academy, our overriding aim at IGS is to ensure that our students achieve everything that they are capable of – their ‘Personal Best’ - from Year 7 through to Sixth Form and beyond.
We are very proud of our excellent reputation in the local community, as well as the wider Leeds and Bradford areas and pride ourselves on the quality of education we provide to our students. Our Ofsted inspection in March 2017 confirmed us as an 'Outstanding' school in all areas of our provision.
Ilkley Grammar School is the founding school of Moorlands Learning Trust multi-academy trust and consistently achieves excellent examination results at both GCSE and A Level. Hard work is an expectation of all and we strive for continual improvements year on year by challenging our staff and students to excel.
