This School Guide heat map has been plotted using official pupil data taken from the last School Census collected by the Department for Education. It is a visualisation of where pupils lived at the time of the annual School Census.

Our heat maps use groups of postcodes, not individual postcodes, and have naturally soft edges. All pupils are included in the mapping (i.e. children with siblings already at the school, high priority pupils and selective and/or religious admissions) but we may have removed statistical ‘outliers’ with more remote postcodes that do not reflect majority admissions.

For some schools, the heat map may be a useful indicator of the catchment area but our heat maps are not the same as catchment area maps. Catchment area maps, published by the school or local authority, are based on geographical admissions criteria and show actual cut-off distances and pre-defined catchment areas for a single admission year.

This information is provided as a guide only. The criteria in which schools use to allocate places in the event that they are oversubscribed can and do vary between schools and over time. These criteria can include distance from the school and sometimes specific catchment areas but can also include, amongst others, priority for siblings, children of a particular faith or specific feeder schools. Living in an area where children have previously attended a school does not guarantee admission to the school in future years. Always check with the school’s own admission authority for the current admission arrangements.

3 steps to help parents gather catchment information for a school:

  1. Look at our school catchment area guide for more information on heat maps. They give a useful indicator of the general areas that admit pupils to the school. This visualisation is based on all attending pupils present at the time of the annual School Census.
  2. Use the link to the Local Authority Contact (above) to find catchment area information based on a single admission year. This is very important if you are considering applying to a school.
  3. On each school page, use the link to visit the school website and find information on individual school admissions criteria. Geographical criteria are only applied after pupils have been admitted on higher priority criteria such as Looked After Children, SEN, siblings, etc.

School Description

Pupils at Ilkley Grammar School have high levels of respect for each other and their teachers. Relationships between teachers and pupils are warm and caring. Pupils know that there are adults they can speak to if they are worried about anything. Leaders ensure that the school is inclusive. Pupils across the main school, the sixth form and the additionally resourced provision form one community. This helps pupils to feel safe. Bullying is incredibly rare. All pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), access an ambitious curriculum. Pupils can access a wide range of ‘iLeader’ opportunities, including, for example, Olicana Scholars, Eco-iLeaders and anti-bullying iLeaders. This helps pupils to develop independence and broadens their understanding of the rich curriculum. For pupils with the most complex needs, leaders ensure they are exposed to everyday experiences, such as travelling by public transport, to prepare them for life after Ilkley Grammar School. Pupils understand and celebrate diversity, but, for some pupils, their knowledge of different faiths and religions is not well developed. Behaviour in lessons is calm and purposeful. Pupils engage with the activities that teachers plan. The use of technology in lessons, such as computer tablets, helps pupils to access information related to learning in lessons and to revisit and remember learned content. Leaders have ensured that pupils understand how to keep themselves safe online.
