We are excited to share a fantastic opportunity for Idsall students to take part in the newly launched Art 4 All project 🎨

Children across Shropshire and Telford and Wrekin are invited to create artwork inspired by Andrew Vern Stokes, patron of the 4 All Foundation.

Vern grew up in Telford and went on to become the Garrison Sergeant Major, playing a key role in major Royal events including King Charles’ Coronation and the VE Day celebrations. He has also been recognised with a BAFTA for his work.

All artwork submitted will be displayed in a special exhibition in Telford this summer, with Vern attending as guest of honour. The project aims to inspire young people to dream big, showing what can be achieved with determination and support ⭐

Idsall pupils are encouraged to take part by creating artwork inspired by Vern, using themes such as VE Day celebrations or the Coronation.

Any questions or finished pieces can be taken to your Art Teacher. All submissions must be in by 30 April 2026.

Our Year 7L girls have worked incredibly hard throughout their gymnastics unit. They have developed their single and partner balances, rolls and a range of shapes, while also learning GCSE key terminology such as plantar flexion, which means pointing their toes 🤸🏻‍♀️

They created and refined sequences, performed confidently in front of the class and supported each other with thoughtful peer feedback.

Miss Logan is very proud of the effort, commitment and progress they have shown 💪🏼

Today is National School Governors’ Awareness Day.

Since working in youth development and education, I’ve always been interested in becoming a school governor. After moving back to Shropshire in 2024, I contacted several local secondary schools - and I’m grateful that Idsall School welcomed me last year as a Community Governor within the Marches Academy Trust.

As a former Idsall student, it feels particularly special to now support the school in this way.

Governors bring a mix of skills and experience - not just from education, but from different sectors - helping provide support and strategic oversight so schools can give young people the best possible environment to thrive.

If you’ve ever thought about volunteering in this way, it’s well worth exploring.

7️⃣ Our Year 7s showed brilliant resilience and enthusiasm in their first school netball match. They didn’t quite get the win this time, but their effort and teamwork were outstanding.

We were delighted to welcome McPhillips Wellington Limited back into Idsall this week to deliver careers talks to our Year 10 to Year 13 Construction students.

A particular highlight was learning about their apprenticeship opportunities, which showed students how practical skills can translate directly into employment with a successful local employer.

We are also pleased to share that McPhillips have generously offered work experience placements for our students, strengthening our partnership and providing hands‑on opportunities that support future careers 😊🏗️✨

A huge well done to all our Year 11 students and our Year 12 Sixth Form tutors who completed their first tutoring session ⭐

As part of our ongoing Maths and English intervention work, key Year 11 students have been paired with Year 12 tutors who achieved excellent GCSE results last year.

This peer support model is already making a real difference. Year 11 students are benefiting from personalised guidance from someone who has recently succeeded in the same exams and can share practical study habits and strategies. For Year 12s, it is a great opportunity to build leadership skills and deepen their own understanding by teaching others.

One Year 11 student said: “That session was great! Charlie explained exam structures and how to explode quotations to make them more understandable. As he got grades 8 and 9 in his GCSEs, he knows the paper really well!”

We are incredibly proud of everyone taking part and look forward to seeing the programme grow over the coming weeks.
