Canteen update. Reducing waste and becoming more environmentally friendly

As part of our ongoing work to reduce waste and make Idsall School more environmentally friendly, we are trialling washable, reusable food baskets in the canteen instead of single‑use cardboard containers.

This small change supports our commitment to sustainable food standards and will significantly reduce the amount of waste produced each day. Our students have been very vocal in championing greener approaches across the school, and we are proud to be taking this step forward together 🌍

We will be reviewing the trial over the coming weeks to see how it can be developed further, and we are hopeful that reducing disposable packaging will have a positive impact for both our environment and our school community.

Our Year 11 students recently took part in dedicated revision sessions πŸ“šβœ¨

It was fantastic to see such high levels of focus, engagement and effort across every activity. Students explored a range of effective revision techniques that they can continue to use as they prepare for their exams, building confidence and independence in their learning.

Thank you to everyone involved for your positivity, participation and commitment. You represented yourselves and your year group brilliantly.

Faith has been working incredibly hard on a fantastic poster for the PE department all about netball 🏐🎨

She included clear information about the different playing positions, alongside key rules and regulations, all brought to life with beautiful drawings that make the poster engaging and eye catching.

Well done, Faith, a wonderful example of creativity, effort, and cross curricular learning.

A huge well done to our Year 11 girls badminton team who represented East Shropshire and Idsall School at the County Schools Badminton Finals 🏸

Competing against the best six teams in the county, the girls produced outstanding performances throughout.

After dominant 10–0 wins against Newport Girls’ High and St Martins, without dropping a single game, the team progressed to the final to face a very strong Holy Trinity side.

Following a fantastic doubles win, the girls narrowly missed out on the top spot, finishing as County Silver medallists with a final score of 4–1.

This International Women’s Day, we were proud to hear from Niki McGarvey, MATi and Outreach Specialist Advisor, as she shared her reflections on this year’s theme of giving to gain.

When we give opportunity, encouragement and respect, we gain stronger communities, fairer workplaces and brighter futures. Every time we listen, support and open doors for women and girls, progress follows. Equality is not something we lose by sharing, it is something we all gain.

Today, and every day, we choose action, kindness and collaboration, because when women thrive, everyone thrives.

A tale of two fortunes for our Year 9 boys footballers ⚽

In the Telford Cup, the team secured a fantastic 3–2 extra time win against a very physical William Brookes School. An outstanding defensive performance gave a strong platform for midfield and attack, and after hitting the woodwork four times, the game was taken into extra time where Idsall dominated possession and deservedly took the win.

Just four days later, the boys faced HLC in the Presidents Plate, a side that has beaten Idsall in recent seasons. A dominant first half, built on physicality, tactics, and fitness, saw Idsall go in 1–0 up despite several missed chances. After the break, tired legs and some fierce tackling led to three quick goals for the opposition, with the game finishing 3–1.
A tough result, but one that showed real progress and belief, and a match that could easily have gone the other way.

Our badminton qualifiers did not disappoint, with some fantastic progress shown since September 🏸

For most of this squad, this was their first experience of competitive badminton outside of lessons, making their achievements even more impressive.

The girls secured a brilliant 5–0 win against St Martins of North Shropshire to progress as second place in their group. After a narrow semi final loss, they went on to a tough bronze medal match against Shrewsbury Girls’ High, just missing out with a close 105–92 scoreline. There were lots of lessons learned, and they will be back next year as Year 9s, ready to challenge again.
