[edit] Famous Ex Students
During the time that the FA's School of Excellence was based at nearby Lilleshall, several famous footballers (including some future England internationals) attended the school, including Michael Owen, Sol Campbell, Joe Cole, Andy Cole, Jermaine Defoe, Nicky Barmby. The school won a bid to become a Specialist Sports College in recent years, and now has its own gym which is open to the public as well as pupils and staff.
[edit] The House Cup
When joining the school, pupils are assigned a house (usually two tutor groups belong to each house) during their first week. The houses are named after Shropshire hills (Caradoc, Longmynd, Ragleth and Wrekin). During the year, house competitions are held ranging from sports to spelling. At the end of every term the points gained by each house are announced to a whole school assembly. The Finney Shield is awarded at the final assembly of the year to the house that has accumulated the most points. Wrekin have failled to ever win the Finney Shield.
[edit] Feild Trips
The school holds annual residential trips to Wales for years 7s, Arthog (Wales) for year 9s and skiing trips in Austria/France for years 8, 10 and 12.
[edit] An Ex Students Comments
"i joined idsall in 2001 and from the beginning i was overwelmed with the support offered, the high standards and the overall friendliness of the school. i enjoyed my time there and left with ten GCSE's all A to C showing how well the staff taught they're individual subjects. I would say, anyone who is unsure about where to go for key stage three and four, idsall is for you."
