The Ilkley Grammar School (IGS) School Sports Partnership (SSP) was formed in 2011 and is a family of local primary schools who work together to enhance the quality of sporting opportunities for children.
The SSP co-ordinator based at IGS concentrates on improving school sport opportunities including out of hours learning, intra and inter-school competition and club links across the family of schools. Primary Link Teachers (PLT) based in the schools aim to improve the quality and quantity of PE and sport in their own schools.
The Ghyll Royd PLT works closely with the SSP co-ordinator and other partnership schools to introduce a programme of events, fixtures and competitions that enables all children to have the opportunity to participate in a variety of sports. In 2010 the school was awarded the Gold Activemark Award in recognition of the amount of time the children participate in sporting activities.
