On 1 June 2014, the school converted from a local authority maintained school to an academy.^[3]

On 1 September 2023, the academy joined the Marches Academy Trust, a Shropshire Multi-academy trust.^[4]

In November 2022, the school was rated 'inadequate' by Ofsted, who wrote in their report "Too many pupils do not feel safe at Idsall School. Some say that they often experience sexual harassment or discriminatory behaviour from their peers. They are not confident that teachers will deal with their concerns, so they do not report the incidents that occur".^[5] In a subsequent Ofsted inspection in November 2024, the school was rated 'good' in most categories and taken out of special measures.^[6]
