Admissions

Ilkley Grammar School is popular and oversubscribed. Admission into Year 7 is via Bradford Metropolitan District Council (BMDC), who still run our admission procedures even though we are an Academy.

YEAR 6 - 7 OPEN DAY

Wednesday 1st October 2025

We held our Open Day and Evening on 1st October 2025, providing the opportunity to see the school in action during the morning from 9.10am to 10.40am where current students led guided tours.

In the evening, the main school was open from 6pm to 8pm with presentations from the Headteacher in B Hall starting at 5.15pm.

Representatives of Bradford Council were available on the night to clarify or discuss any questions around admissions to IGS for the coming September; although we are an Academy, we continue to enlist Bradford to administer our admissions. If you were unable to attend, or have any additional questions about our admissions process, please reach out to admin@igs.mlt.co.uk. 

We are always excited and proud to showcase our school. If you were able to attend, we hope you and your son/daughter found the occasion both informative and enjoyable, and that it supports you in making an informed choice about the important next step in your child’s education.
