Dear Parents/Carers,

Our Year 6 children have been invited to Ilkley Grammar School, on Monday 10th February, to see their drama department’s rehearsal showing of Les Misérables.

In the past, it has been customary that children from local schools are invited to such events, affording them the chance to be entertained, whilst acting as an opportunity for children to get the chance to sample some of the IGS experience. We do acknowledge that not all children from our current Year 6 cohort will be attending IGS from September, but they are still very much welcome.

The performance takes place during normal school hours, from 9:00am until approximately 11:30am. Therefore, children will need to come directly to IGS, in the morning, rather than All Saints’. We ask that children make their way to the ‘top entrance’ at IGS, located at the top of Cowpasture Road, between 8:40am – 8:50am, ready for the performance’s commencement. Familiar adults from All Saints’ will be located in this area, from this time to ensure that children are safely collected. These adults will remain with them during the performance.

Children attending Little Saints’ Breakfast Club will be accompanied to IGS by members of our staff, at around 8:20am. In addition, children who receive snack from school will be provided with this at IGS.

Due to the nature of the show’s content, IGS have provided us with the following information:

” Please note, this is a long show and although we have made it school friendly, it is a more serious and solemn show. “

We understand if you would not like your child to attend this production. If this is the case, they should arrive at All Saints’ as normal on the Monday morning.

As the performance finishes during school hours, those adults on site with the children will bring them back to All Saints’ to continue their learning for the rest of the day, ready for a normal pick up on site, at 3:20pm.We apologise for any inconvenience caused with regards to dropping your children off at IGS, but anticipate a great morning. If there are any questions/queries, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
