Geography Trips

It has been a busy and successful term for Geography, with students enjoying a range of fieldwork opportunities beyond the classroom. In May, over 70 Year 10 students visited Epping Forest Field Studies Centre to investigate the Debden Brook. Spending much of the day in the river, students collected data on depth, width and velocity, developing valuable fieldwork skills while enjoying some fantastic weather. Year 10 students also travelled to Stratford to explore the impact of urban regeneration across four contrasting locations: New Town, East Village, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Hackney Wick. The trip provided an excellent opportunity to see human geography in action and deepen their understanding of one of London's most significant regeneration projects. Meanwhile, Year 12 geographers visited the Lake District, where they investigated physical geography in one of the UK's most spectacular landscapes. The trip gave students the chance to apply their classroom learning in the field while developing important skills for their A-level studies. One of the main aims of this visit is to allow students to collect data for their NEA independent investigations. All of our students either came home with a full set of data or were able to pilot data collection techniques that they will put into practice when they collect data over the summer closer to home. Finally, on 14th July we took members of the Geography Club to a much more local destination - Forty Hall, where we carried out a pilot for a new piece of fieldwork that we are hoping to roll out with Year 7 students next year. Students were asked to use their senses to identify different wildlife, measure changes in micro-climate in different areas and field sketch river features along Turkey Brook. A huge well done to all students for their enthusiasm, engagement and excellent conduct throughout the trips.

Speak Out Challenge Grand Final

We are incredibly proud of Kevin in Year 10 for representing St Ignatius so brilliantly at the Jack Petchey Speak Out Grand Final this week. Reaching the Grand Final places Kevin among the very best young speakers in the country, and he should be immensely proud of this outstanding achievement. Kevin's success continues a remarkable record for the College. His victory at the Regional Final in January marked St Ignatius' third consecutive regional title, a fantastic achievement that reflects the strength of public speaking across the school and the hard work of the staff and students involved. His appearance at the Grand Final also means that, for the second year running, a St Ignatius student has progressed all the way to the national final! It was particularly special to see Adam, last year's Grand Final winner, return to the competition as a judge. His presence was a wonderful reminder of the talent and success that St Ignatius students continue to demonstrate.

Work Experience Week

Throughout the week of 6-10th July, our Y12 students took part on their work experience week and had the opportunity to experience different working environments, learn from industry professionals and develop valuable skills that will support them in their future education and career journeys. We were delighted to see the diverse range of sectors with employers including AXA, the NHS, Kennedy's Law, VolkerFitzpatrick, Enfield Council, Barhale, Pinsent Masons, Aon, EE and many more. We know that applying for and securing a placement can feel daunting, so we want to congratulate our students on the effort, resilience and positivity they have shown every step of the way. Their willingness to embrace new experiences, ask questions and make the most of every opportunity is something to be incredibly proud of.

Magis Day July 2026

At our school, Magis Day is all about helping students grow in ways that go beyond academic achievement. Through careers education, PSHE, citizenship, enrichment activities and real-world experiences, students have the opportunity to develop important life skills, broaden their horizons and build confidence for the future. This Magis Day was packed with exciting and valuable experiences. Year 7 enjoyed a trip to the beach, Year 8 visited the zoo and Year 12 took part in workshops designed to help them make the most of their upcoming work experience placements, as well as an informative session with HMRC learning key tax facts and gaining valuable financial awareness for the world of work.
