Open Evening 024

On Tuesday, St Ignatius College proudly opened its doors to welcome prospective students and their families for our annual Open Evening. The event was a wonderful opportunity for visitors to explore our school community and discover the wide range of academic and extracurricular opportunities available to students. Throughout the evening, our staff provided engaging, interactive experiences across multiple departments. From live science experiments to creative arts showcases, each session was designed to give students a hands-on insight into life at St Ignatius College. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all who attended and contributed to making the event such a success. The enthusiasm of both students and families was truly inspiring, and we look forward to welcoming many of you as future members of our school community.

Great Missenden Trip

Our Geography Department is staying very busy this month while completing their field trips. On Thursday 6 June, the Year 12 A Level Geography class visited the village of Great Missenden in Buckinghamshire. The trip aimed to help students gather primary data and explore the ‘distant place’ they are studying in their Changing Places unit. Additionally, it provided practice with data collection techniques before their upcoming field trip to the Lake District, and it could also inspire ideas for their NEA investigations.

Geography Field trip to Stratford

Year 10 Geography students visited East London to investigate how the regeneration of the Olympic Park area has affected different parts of Stratford. The students did a lot of walking (11 km in fact) and visited New Town, East Village, The Olympic Park, and Hackney Wick.  They practiced a range of fieldwork techniques in order to collect data for their Human Geography investigation. These included Environmental Quality Surveys, Bi-polar analysis, and field sketching. Whilst doing questionnaire surveys in East Village (what was the Athletes Village during the Olympic Games) Mr Smith was approached by a member of the public and congratulated on how polite and well-behaved our students were. Well done boys!

the Scholars Programme Graduation

On Wednesday 15 May, 14 of our Year 12 students attend a Graduation Event to celebrate their achievement in finishing The Scholars Programme at the New College Oxford. The graduation ceremony is designed to feel like a university graduation – students are called up by name, they collect a certificate, and Finley G acted as ‘Spokes-Scholars’, sharing what our students learnt and reflected on their course. The students participated in a campus tour, learnt about university life and finances, and imagine what it might be like to attend a competitive university. Congratulations to everyone for completing the programme with such outstanding results!

Year 13 Inspiration Mass

Last evening marked a momentous occasion as we gathered for the Mass of Inspiration, an event dedicated to our year 13 students. The atmosphere was filled with joy, gratitude, and a touch of nostalgia as we joined hands in prayer with Father Jim Conway from the Jesuits in Britain. Together, we sought blessings not only for their upcoming exams but also for the journey that lies ahead, embracing all that life may bring. Dear year 13 students, you will be missed dearly, as the impact you had on our community is great. Here's to your bright future and all the achievements that await. Congratulations, and good luck!

Our Rugby Star

Meet Niamh, our year 13 student who this season has been selected to represent Ireland in the Under 21 Rugby Team! She says 'I began playing club rugby at the age of 11 in 2017, In the 2023/2024 season I was trailing for Saracens U18s academy where I was fortunate enough to get selected and play for the whole season. During this season I also got a trial for Irish IQ (which is for people who qualify to play for Ireland but don’t live there), where I then had a coach follow me up and come to watch my games, I was then given the opportunity in November to go to Ireland for a training camp, with the Ireland U20 ladies. The camp and the challenge games played against provinces in the meantime were all in preparation for the U20s six nations (which is a competition between England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France and Italy) which will be held in Italy in July. We wish Niamh all the success!
