Supporting wellbeing 
We are living in extraordinary, unprecedented times and it is natural for us all, especially children, to feel anxious and worried. This is a normal reaction, and some stress is to be expected. Although we may be facing living in isolation, we should never feel isolated when we know that we are part of community and that we are loved by God. We know that you will support your children through what is undoubtedly a challenging and unsettling time.
If you have any concerns about how your child is coping or you need any other support from the school, please let us know by contacting us at: enquiries@st-ignatius.enfield.sch.uk

A special thank you to our Year 11 student, Luke Jones who put the video together for us and Mr Duguid, our Director of Music who was the overall director. Plus a HUGE thank you to everyone who contributed to the recording - it was a lot of work, but definitely worthwhile and we couldn't have done it without you!
Hopefully this is a timely reminder that while this pandemic may keep us physically separated as a community, we can still come together and make music.
