Congratulations to all the Year 8 tutor groups who fielded a team in the Community Hockey Tournament last week. There were some great skills and team play on show. Special mentions go to Tom Hagan (8RRG) and Barnaby Walsh (8LNR) who rushed back from ball boy practice to help their respective teams in the final crucial games. Also congratulations to the many students who were not hockey players but managed to hold their own against some more experienced players. Well done to 8RRG who had great fighting spirit, in a team where most of the players had never really played before and managed to place a credible second. 8PO also put on a good show with some experienced players gelling well with students newer to the sport. They showed excellent camaraderie and gained third place. The overall winners were 8LNR who, as always, put their all into every match and were the only form to field a full team as well as substitutes. Their team spirit as a form is commendable and they look to be in a good position to take the super tutor group title this year. The tournament results were:

1st Place: 8LNR 2nd Place: 8RRG 3rd Place: 8PO 4th Place: 8ASH/AMB Mixed I Band Team. Points were awarded as follows; S Band: 235points and I Band: 135 points.

Year 8, 9 and 10 Mock Exams 2016 In the light of the increase in linear assessment and following feedback, including parental feedback, from last year we are running mock exams for a selection of core subjects in the Sports Hall for students so that you become accustomed to the arrangements for external exams during your studies in Year 8, 9 and 10. The timetable for the Sports Hall based examinations is shown below:

For Year 10 students, special arrangements will be made for students with additional needs, therefore some students may sit their examinations in rooms other than the Sports Hall. Students entitled for 25% extra time will receive their extra time in the location they are timetabled for their exam. For students in Year 8 and 9 the assessments will be taken without extra time in order to build a ‘history of need’ in order to support any extra time applications to examination boards for GCSE examinations. You may be sitting other end of year examinations not in the Sports Hall and subject specific information about the contents and timings of these examinations will be provided to you by individual subject areas.

We expect you all to be in the right place at the right time...especially as lessons are about to start. You must ensure you allow enough time to get to your classroom before your lesson is due to begin.

Three L comments in two weeks for KS3

students and three Ls in one week for KS4

students will immediately qualify you for a detention!

Congratulations to Amber Woffindin (9DSF) who competed in the U14 County Cup. The competition took place over the weekend of 13-15th May in Nottingham. Yorkshire were drawn in a group with Wiltshire, Nottinghamshire and the top seeds, Surrey. They lost out 4-2 to Nottinghamshire but beat both Surrey and Wiltshire. The Yorkshire team then played off for the bronze medal against North Wales’ winning decisively 6-0 after four singles and two doubles matches. Playing at number one for Yorkshire, Amber had some very tough opponents to face but did well to win two out of her three singles matches against higher ranked opponents.

Far Right: Amber Woffindin

Good luck all our Year 7 public speakers who, after completing their band rounds, will go head to head in the grand final on Monday 6th June in B Hall.

The public speaking event is a firm favourite on the school calendar and the confidence and ease at which so many of our younger students speak to their peers in the audience, never fails to amaze staff and fellow students...it should be a great final!

Good luck to our Year 9 cricket team who take on Ermysted’s Grammar School in the second round of the Yorkshire Cup on Thursday afternoon. The team are: Alex Bentley (9SL); Matthew Revis (9SP); Charlie Day (9LG); Charlie Harrison (9PDH); Freddie Smart (9LG); Thomas Schofield (9SL); Isaac Hutton (9LAM); Cameron Hawdon (9LG); James Barker (9SL); James Cape (9SP); Ryan Stockley (9SP) Adam Haw (9PDH) and Oliver Adams (9SP).


Good luck to Team IGS as they enter this year’s ‘Routes into Languages Competition’ with York University. The team, dressed as team GB (wearing Olympics opening ceremony costumes), are: Rosie Kealey (10MEK); Holly Park (10JK); Alice Chadwick (10JB); Elena Quarmby (10MEK); Izzy Wier (10JK); Rosa Cooper (10JK) and Miss Ramiro, our MFL ITT student teacher. They will take part in the four week languages competition which started last week.

Left to Right: Matthew Carter; Jacob Wearing; Joe Higgitt and Pedram Habib-Zadeh

The IGS Year 9 tennis team were in action last Thursday at Ashville College, Harrogate. We represented as two teams: Pair one; Matthew Carter (9LAM) and Jacob Wearing (9LAM) and Pair two; Pedram Habib-Zadeh (9PDH) and Joe Higgitt (9PDH). Despite heavy rain the competition started and the boys battled through the very difficult weather conditions and managed to pick up some points against some very good division two players. The organisers eventually cancelled the fixture after three games and praised the players for their commitment and resilience. All points will be carried forward to the next competition and the team are still to play: Ripon Grammar, King James, and Ashville College.

IGS 1-4 Rossett IGS(1) 0-8 St Aidans (2) IGS(2) 1-4 St Aidans (2) IGS(1) 1-4 St John Fishers (1) IGS(2) 3-3 St John Fishers (2)


Congratulations to Maisie Clegg (7DJJ) who ran the 'Race for life' in Ilkley on Sunday 22nd May and completed the 5k course in a time of 28 minutes. Maisie raised £169.50 for Cancer Research UK. Maisie was in good company on the day as Mrs Lister also ran the course in 47:30 mins raising £75.

Well done to Archie Minto (8AMB) who has been invited to compete in the World Karate Championships in Dublin on the 15th - 19th June. The event will see attendees competing in children, cadet, junior, senior and veteran categories. Good luck Archie!

Well played to our U14 and U15 American Football team who competed in their first fixture on Wednesday against Carr Manor Community School, Leeds. The boys have been religiously training with a team from Leeds Becket University and the Leeds American Football Academy on Monday nights for the last couple of months.

The full squad were: Freddie Smart (9LG); Joseph Brooks (9HED); Joe Wolf (9DSF); Ashley McEwan (9SP); Matthew Macgregor (9SP); Tom Williams (9LG); Mark Shaper (9HED); Ryan Thatcher (9SP); Ryan Stockley (9SP) and Thomas Schofield (9SL).

Maisie Clegg Mrs Lister


Our AEGON ball girls and boys were in action last week in their first training session at Ilkley Tennis Club. Unfortunately, due to the weather, the session had to take place indoors...hopefully the tournament itself on 11-19th June, will see better weather!

As finishing touches are being made to the Tennis Club our students are being taught the finer points of providing this vital service to any tennis competition.

There are two more training sessions: Thursday 26th May and Thursday 9th June. All students involved should leave lessons at 2.20pm to change into their PE kit. Buses will then take the students down to the club for the 3.00pm - 5.00pm training session. All students should make arrangements to make their own way home from the tennis club.

On Friday 11th June there will be a final session to go through the arrangements for the Saturday and the start of the tournament. Students will be expected to make their own way to the club for a 4.30pm start. Mr Edwards will be at the club for this final session which will finish at 5.15pm.

Good luck everyone!

from our Year 11 students.


5 Tips for Dealing with Haters and Trolls www.commonsensemedia.org is a website dedicated to helping young people thrive in a world of media and technology by empowering you, parents, teachers, and policymakers. They do this by providing unbiased information, trusted advice, and innovative tools to help harness the power of media and technology as a positive force in all our lives. Media and technology are at the very centre of all our lives today -- young people today can spend over 50 hours of screen time every week. The media content consumed and created can have a profound impact on your social, emotional and physical wellbeing. This week the website published a guide to dealing with ‘Haters’ and ‘Trolls’ online. Haters and trolls are people who go online, often anonymously, and write mean comments, sometimes with the goal of getting a response. Chances are if you are online, you will, unfortunately, encounter both. Their 5 tips are simple:

Don’t respond A troll is simply there to incite anger. Don't feed them the very treat they are seeking!

Ignore Do the online version of turning the other cheek—ignore their comments.

Delete, Block or Unfollow The quickest way to stop people hurting you online is to remove your involvement with them. Don’t keep the connection going.

Report All social media platforms have great reporting mechanisms, often you don’t even have to leave the screen you are in...just hit report.

Evidence Take a screenshot, this can act as evidence even if the person later removes the comment or photograph. If abuse escalates this evidence may be required later on. Click here for more advice.

Your behaviour during break-time and lunchtime

should mirror the same behaviour we expect of you

during lessons. Can we please remind you of some

basic rules everyone must follow during those times.

Please ensure you invite your manners to lunch. If you misbehave you will be

sent to the back of the queue. The lunchtime supervisor team are members of

staff and have the right to put a comment in your planner if you are behaving

poorly. We have a lunchtime detention room in P2 that is open everyday. It will

be used for anyone causing serious problems, swearing or persistently

challenging the rules of the school. All staff including the lunchtime supervisors

can put you in P2 for a detention.

We have plenty of bins

around our site and we

take pride in keeping it

tidy.

Please use the bins

provided and do not

eat in corridors or on

the play courts. As the

weather warms up we

want you to enjoy our

outdoor spaces...but

you must do so

respectfully.

No food or drink can

be taken out of B

Hall at break-time.

You buy, you stay,

you eat!

Water is the only drink

you can take out of B

Hall at lunchtime,

plated food must not

be removed.

Ensure your rubbish

is placed in bins

and you put your

trays on racks


Food, Glorious Food Last week our Year 10 Food Technology groups showcased their practical skills by preparing a buffet. The students put all their culinary skills and techniques to great use and presented a smorgasbord of tasty treats. Staff enjoyed the variety of well prepared and displayed dishes, whilst being entertained by the students. Well done to all.


Career planning helps you to realise your ambitions — what you would like to do in your working life, which courses would suit you and which colleges/universities or businesses fulfil your needs. Each week, we hope to provide information that will help you along your journey ranging from apprenticeships, open days and insights into careers you may not have thought about. Further information is available from Mrs Mitchell (Key Stage 4 Hub) or Mrs Stewart (Post 16 Office).

JN Bentley, Skipton, require a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual to provide administrative support based at their Head Office in Skipton. The successful candidate will work on their busy reception and duties will include greeting visitors and answering the telephone, therefore, a polite and professional attitude is essential. You will also be involved in opening and distributing the post and providing additional support to other departments as and when required. Previous experience is not essential however you need to be IT literate, have excellent communication skills and possess a positive attitude. This role would suit a school leaver.

To apply send your CV and covering letter, including your salary expectations to: [email protected] or JN Bentley Ltd, Keighley Road, Skipton, North Yorkshire. BD23 2QR. The closing date for applications is 9th June.

BPP University Law School, Leeds are running a free event on 28th and 29th July.

If you are currently in Year 11, 12 or 13, a high achiever and thinking of entering the legal, financial or business professions when you leave school, you may wish to take part in the BPP School for Young Professionals. The higher apprenticeships that BPP offers are a route into the professions and an alternative to going to university and studying through a traditional degree and post graduate qualification. Their two day event will offer students the chance to prepare themselves for applying for an apprenticeship job through fun and interactive sessions which look at CV writing, interview practice and running a business! Students will also have the opportunity to meet future potential employers.

In order to apply you must be available for both days and BPP will require parental/carer consent before students are able to attend. Due to the popularity of this event in the past, BPP will place a cap on numbers and therefore they will accept students on a first come first served basis. Students wishing to attend should click on the link below and complete the registration form in full . http://accountancy.bppeloqua.com/leeds-school-for-young-professionals.

There are around 370 universities and higher education colleges in the UK — so visiting them all is pretty much impossible! Whittling them down to a shortlist could take a while, so here are a couple of resources that might help:

UCAS search tool and UCAS open days search tool.

The top tips, from UCAS, for attending open days are: What to expect — don't worry; you won't just be left to your own devices when you attend an open

day. Each uni will have planned an itinerary of activities that will run throughout the day — such as tours, talks, meet and greet sessions, and more. Check uni websites or speak to them to see if they have a planned timetable of activities.

Plan ahead — it's also a good idea to have your own agenda in mind when visiting a uni or college. Consider what you'd like to find out more about, which departments you'd like to take a look at, and prepare some questions.

Taster courses — got a couple of unis in mind? Why not see if they run taster courses? These are designed to give students a flavour of the course they're interested in applying to. Often they'll include a number of workshops and seminar sessions, led by academic teaching staff at the university, as well as campus and accommodation tours.

Higher Education Exhibitions — UCAS hold over 50 exhibitions each year, right across the UK. They're an excellent opportunity for you to meet numerous unis and colleges in the same place at the same time. They're worth attending even if you're considering other options: professional bodies, recruiters and volunteer organisations exhibit too.

Working and the Law The youngest you can work part-time is 13, except children involved in areas like: television, theatre and modelling. Children working in these areas will need a performance licence. Young people can only start full-time work once you have reached the minimum school leaving age - you can then work up to a maximum of 40 hours a week.

What do you want to do? You may already have some ideas about the kinds of places you’d like to work in, and if so that’s great. If not, don’t worry - think about what you’re interested in and whether there could be any opportunities to do some of those things near to where you live. You might fancy working in a shop, a café or with animals. If you need more ideas, look in your local telephone book or in online business directories like Yell.com to find out more about local businesses you might want to work for. Popular places to look for Saturday or holiday jobs include: local shops; animal shelters or stables; hairdressers; garden centres; hotels; cafes; restaurants; cleaning work; dog walking; pet sitting or a paper round.

Looking for Vacancies Some part-time vacancies aren’t advertised, so if you know where you want to work, phone or visit them to ask if they have any part-time jobs available. If the company has a website, check it out. They may advertise there. Look at the jobs section of your local paper too - it may have some vacancies you could be interested in. You’ll need a CV to help you present yourself in the right way. It’s a mini-advert for you and will show employers at a glance what skills, experience and education you’ve got. If you want to work somewhere that has no vacancies, you could always leave it with them - they may keep it on file and contact you if an opening comes up.

No CV? Don’t worry! Take a look at the advice below on where to start and what to include.

Your Personal Details You should include your name, address and contact details. It's up to you whether you include your age and nationality. Recruiters should be able to make a decision about your skills and abilities without this information. If you’re adding your email address to your contact details make sure that it sounds professional and creates the right impression.

Your Personal Profile Your personal profile is a mini-advert for you and should summarise your: skills and qualities; work background and achievements and career aims. It should only be a few lines and must grab the reader's attention. Try to avoid over-used terms, such as 'reliable', 'hard working', 'team player', 'good communication skills' etc. These general terms are heard very often and they don't help an employer to build up a picture of you. For example, if the job involves working with people, try to highlight relevant, specific people skills such as: negotiating, effectively dealing with demanding customers, presentation skills, handling conflict, or showing empathy. These help the reader build up more of a picture of your skills, knowledge and experience. Be brief - you can go into more detail and highlight examples of your skills in later sections. When you're summarising your career aims, think about the employer you are sending the CV to. It will hit home with employers if your career aims sound exactly like the kind of opportunities they currently have.

Itching to get out there and earn your own money? As well as helping you to get that bit of extra hard earned cash, a part-time job at the weekend or in the holidays can be a great way of getting experience and learning new skills. It’s also a way of meeting new people and making contacts that could be useful later on in your career. There are loads of different jobs you can do, it depends what you fancy doing and what’s on offer in your local area. Read on for the National Careers Service tips and advice that can help you to give your job search a kick start.


Employment History and Work Experience

If you've been working for a while, you could put your employment history first. If you don't have much work experience, you might like to highlight your education and training. In this section you should start with your present or most recent job and work backwards.

You should include employers, the dates you worked for them, job title and your main duties. Provide more detail on the relevant jobs you've had and give examples of the skills you used and what you achieved. Use bullet pointed lists and positive language. Try thinking of ‘action’ words that you can use to describe what you did in your job, like achieved, designed, established, supervised, co-ordinated, created or transformed. Try to relate your skills and experience to the job description, person specification or what you think the employer is looking for, if you're sending your CV on spec. Education and Training Start with your most recent qualifications and using bullet points or a table include: the college or school you went to; the dates the qualifications were awarded and any grades and any work-related courses, if they're relevant. Interests and Achievements You can include hobbies, interests and achievements that are relevant to the job. For example, if you're involved in any clubs or societies this can show that you enjoy meeting new people. Interests like sports and physical recreation activities can also show employers that you are fit and healthy. Try to avoid only putting activities that you would do alone like reading, bird-watching or playing video games, unless they relate directly to the job that you are applying for. They may leave employers wondering how sociable you are. Make your activities specific and interesting! Additional Information You can include this section if you need to add anything else that's relevant. You could also include other relevant skills here, such as if you have a driving licence or can speak any foreign languages.

References At least one referee should be work-related. Or, if you haven't worked for a while, you could use another responsible person who has known you for some time. You can list your referees on your CV or just put 'references available on request'. If you decide to include their details you should state the relationship of each referee to you – for example 'John Turner, line manager'.

Need more help? Click here to access the National Careers Service CV builder.

Spread the word...the more people that know you’re looking for work, the better. Talk to people you know, such as friends,

family, teachers, carers and tell them what you’re looking for. Even if they can’t offer you work, they might know of something else that’s on offer. They could even be on

the lookout for vacancies for you.
