📚 Progress Café in Full Swing!

It’s fantastic to see so many of our Year 11 students making the most of the Progress Café! This is their space to:

✅ Use the library for focused revision
✅ Grab a hot chocolate
✅ Work through peer tutoring and 1:1 practice
✅ Explore library resources
✅ Chat with Mrs Thorpe about their progress

The atmosphere has been brilliant – calm, productive, and supportive. Keep up the great work, Year 11! The café will remain open throughout the mock exam season, even around the exam desks. Rumour has it… there might even be biscuits this week! 🍪

💻 Mrs Reeve’s Computer Science class were thrilled to discover that playdoh and string were part of their learning! Students explored network topologies and then applied their knowledge by recreating them using the materials provided.

One student said: “This will help me in my exam now as I’ll remember the day we created the topologies with playdoh!” - what a brilliant way to make learning memorable!

🔬 Year 12 students at Idsall have been putting their chemistry skills to the test!

As part of their latest practical, they carried out an acid-base titration using an unfamiliar indicator to determine the volume of an unknown substance that was neutralised. From there, they applied a series of stoichiometric calculations to deduce the chemical formula of the mystery compound.

It’s brilliant to see our students tackling real-world scientific problems with confidence and curiosity.
