The PTA works to raise additional funds for school that enhance the enrichment and education of all our students. Extra funds also support a range of projects that the school would otherwise struggle to deliver within existing budgets.

Each year we run a series of fundraising activities such as our cafés at the Ilkley Literature Events at the school, Wine Tasting evening, Quiz Night, Auction of Promises and other café support at school events. 

In past years we have funded:

• The IGS Bursary which is available to provide financial assistance to students who otherwise would not be able to afford to participate in trips and enrichment opportunities. This is an annual commitment.
• A grant of £400 for three more outdoor benches, following a specific request for these from the school council (May 2024).
• A new outdoor water bottle filling fountain near the Armitage building. This is heavily used now. This cost a total of £600 (including plumbing in). The fountain is recessed so it can't be damaged (May 2024).
• Four high-quality hand dryers for the Armitage Building toilets (Sept 2024).

The Latest News & Events

Volunteering

We continue to support school events with cafe-bars requiring several volunteers to share the responsibility. The Auction can raise a lot of money. If responsibility is shared among 3 or 4 people, the workload is minimal. You can help with this without coming to meetings! Email PTA@igs.mlt.co.uk to help.

IGS Marketplace

You can also help to raise money via IGS Marketplace on Facebook by selling your 'pre-loved' school items. This is a group for Ilkley Grammar School parents and staff to buy and sell second hand school uniform, sports wear and sports equipment, miscellaneous educational equipment, books etc, to raise funds for the PTA. Please provide a description, photo and asking price with your post. Once sold, we ask the sellers to make a donation (50% suggested minimum) to the PTA using Parentpay to the school office. Thank you!
