Easy fundraising - FIGS

With Christmas fast approaching we wanted to remind you of shopping via Easyfundraising!  Easyfundraising is a website that links with major outlets such as M&S, Next, Argos, John Lewis etc as well major supermarket chains.  You shop directly with the retailer as you would normally, but if you sign up to: www.easyfundraising.org.uk for free and use the links on their website to take you to your chosen retailer, the retailers give a percentage of your expenditure to your named charity at no extra cost to you, the consumer.  Our Parents association, Friends of St Ignatius, have registered as a charity and we receive a donation on any purchases made via Easyfundraising.

Advent Charities 2020

As the season of Advent approaches, we wanted to highlight the charities that the College will be supporting over this period. The College has a long tradition of raising awareness of social justice issues and supporting charities that help the most vulnerable in our society and the world. We strive to put the gospel values, ‘Faith, Hope and Love’, into action. Our chosen charities this Advent are: Love Christmas – Sharing a million Christmas Boxes of hope and love this season. St Ignatius College has been invited, along with St Anne’s High School, to get involved in the “Love Christmas” initiative to help spread the power of love and hope to those struggling with Covid and other social challenges this Christmas.  We plan to make up Christmas Boxes filled with gifts and seasonal treats and then mobilise volunteers to deliver the boxes to the most vulnerable and isolated in our communities.   The Catholic Children’s Society Crisis Appeal The second charity we are supporting during Advent is the Catholic Children’s Society, which supports disadvantaged children and families across London, Hertfordshire and the South East.  They work with individuals of all faiths and none; their sole aim is to help those in greatest need. The charity operates a Crisis Fund which provides immediate financial support for families facing a crisis in their lives.  Parish Priests and Headteachers can apply to this fund on behalf of a family and we will respond within 24 hours.  This support can make a huge difference to families in desperate situations when they have nowhere else to turn. We have sent a letter home to all parents with details of how families can help with both charities and we will post further information over the coming days so please keep an eye out.

125 Anniversary Mass at Westminster

On Friday 24th January 2020 the whole school community along with special guests, travelled to Westminster Cathedral to celebrate Mass marking our 125th anniversary.  The team at the College executed the logistics perfectly with the boys carefully following instructions and helping to make this a truly wonderful day. The boys were a real credit to the school.  Mass was performed by Bishop John Sherrington and concelebrated by a large number of fellow Jesuit preists.  Readers, servers, choir and congregation all conducted themselves very well - the epitome of a Jesuit pupil profile! What a special time to be part of the Ignatian community! AMDG /337/school-gallery/cat/34/125-anniversary-mass-at-westminster-cathedral

Careers Week 2026

As well as the usual Careers Presentations to different year groups, there were activities in the library every lunch time for National Careers Week. We kicked off with an engaging session focused on helping students recognise their own skills, strengths and areas for growth. From communication and teamwork to problem‑solving and creativity, students reflected on what they already do well and identified the qualities they want to develop further. It was a valuable opportunity for them to consider who they are, what they can bring to future workplaces, and how their unique strengths can shape the paths ahead. Day 2 encouraged students to look outward and explore future pathways. They examined different routes into a wide range of careers - including Sixth Form and Higher Education, Apprenticeships, and Degree Apprenticeships -and discussed how gaining workplace experience, alongside building knowledge and skills, can give them a strong start. On Day 4, students made meaningful links between school and the wider world by considering how their favourite subjects can influence their future direction. They explored the skills they enjoy using, matched them to real‑world roles, and discovered new industries they may not have encountered before. We wrapped up the week with Day 5: UniFrog in Action. Through hands‑on sessions, students explored pathways, compared courses, and learned how to use UniFrog to support every stage of their decision‑making.
