πŸŽ„ In line with a long held Idsall Sixth Form tradition, our annual gnome quiz took place before Christmas and it certainly brought out the competitive spirit.

The heats saw six Sixth Form teams narrowed down to four, before the semi finals tested students’ knowledge of 2025 politics, sport and culture.

The final challenge, a mix of current affairs and festive questions, saw 6RST and 6SCO go head to head in a brilliantly close contest.

Congratulations to 6RST and their final team of Jess, Kazy, Toby and Zak, who celebrate the gnome and the glory for 2025! πŸŽ‰

πŸ”¬ Year 11 have been getting hands on with chemical analysis, testing unknown compounds using a range of scientific techniques. They began with flame tests to identify metal ions, then moved on to reactions for different anions, piecing together clues like real scientists πŸ”

Bright colours, careful observations and logical thinking made this practical a brilliant way to bring chemistry to life. Our students showed great focus and enthusiasm throughout the investigation πŸ‘

πŸŽ“ Think bigger with Open6 - your Sixth Form, your way ✨

Stay at your local Sixth Form with your friends and teachers, then pick the subjects that suit you across our Trust. Specialist courses use smart hybrid learning with recorded teacher audio and whiteboard, plus weekly face-to-face subject seminars for extra support and discussion.

Your timetable blends on-site lessons, supported hybrid sessions and independent study so you can focus on what matters most.

The result is powerful: independence, digital literacy, resilience and confidence that set you up for uni, apprenticeships and future careers.

Myth: Students prefer only face-to-face learning.
Truth: Our pilot students love the flexibility and the weekly seminars.

Ready to shape your path with more choice, more flexibility and stronger support? It's not too late to apply for September 2026!

It is fabulous to have the official photos of Will P in Year 8 as he competes in the National Schools Ski Championships ⛷️

Will recently took part in the National Schools (North) Indoor Ski Championships where he achieved an impressive 6th place for Idsall, and the National Schools Outdoor Ski Championships where he secured a brilliant 5th place.

Fantastic results and a huge well done Will.
