Ilkley Grammar School is evil
I had a friend at IGS who reported being racially discriminated by a fellow student and later left after the school didn’t do a thing about it even after being contacted by his parents. Someone who was in my year had sexually assaulted a classmate and skipped school once people found out about it. Instead of acting on this, ex-friends of this individual were encouraged by staff to become friends with them again, referring to the assault as a “mistake”. If you don’t want your children to risk g...

It’s so bad
Don’t bother with this school. They pick and choose when to care about students and they don’t give a flying toss about mental health. They will put certain students in isolation for one thing but then is a different student did the same thing they’ll turn a blind eye. The slt are very aggressive and only care if you have your coat on. If a student is in a lunch time detention or isolation they deny them any sort of food. The head of years only care about answering emails rather than helping stu...

Good school with lots of opportunities
This is a great school. There are some incredible opportunities like doing the ball crew for the ilkley trophy tennis tournament. There are lots of extra curricular clubs for everyone's taste. Most teachers are good, but some can be a bit mean. Mostly though, this is a great school and I would reccomend it.

Teachers dont care
My year 9 child is being faced with frequent homophobic abuse and the teachers and the year 9 head of year are not doing anything to help because it seems they only deal with issues that are easy to them!

50/50
Been there for 4 years, at first hated it because of how big and scary it was then loved it till year 9, after year 8 all they talk about are exams, there are genuinely some great teachers there, sometimes the support and help for the students well being is decent other times not, they seem to think give you a stress tap, telling you to go on a walk, take and bath and get 10 hours sleep will do the trick when they don’t even give us enough time to get 10 hours sleep on a morning. My parents alwa...

Unreliable and over fixated on results
Far more bothered about exam results and competition with other schools than the students themselves. More of a business than a school.

Horrible.
School couldn’t care less for anyone. They’re fine with people being bullied, don’t help the students at all and even sometimes get physical with the students. A bunch of liars the lot of them. Only 3 good teachers. Can’t wait to leave.
