ILKLEY Grammar School held a Learning Forum Showcase event on June 29 which was attended by 60 teachers and 15 students.

The focus was on what makes inspirational teaching and learning.

Ilkley Grammar School’s Courtyard Café was decorated with balloons and the bunting was made by the students who had written short pieces about how they have been inspired to learn at IGS.

The students then demonstrated to staff how they like to play games with an educational focus to help them learn and revise in an active way.

The school was also pleased to welcome visiting teachers from South Craven School and Harrogate Grammar School, both partners with IGS in the Red Kite Alliance, a partnership of schools and institutions sharing skills, experience, talent and capacity to help improve learning and achievement in schools across Yorkshire.

Victoria Brides, head of e-learning, compered a series of inspirational presentations to round off the event in B Hall and Karen Jones, assistant head: learning and teaching, thanked all the participants for their "terrific contribution to the exciting learning experiences at Ilkley Grammar School".
