Tate Modern Trip

Last week, some of our students had the opportunity to venture into Central London and despite the strong winds, visited Tate Modern, the modern art museum. They spent hours engaging with art and different artists, as well as working on their own pieces.  We have even received a positive word from their tour guide, stating: 'On behalf of my colleagues at Tate, I’d like to pass on our thanks to you for your management of the visit and to your students for behaving so considerately to the members of the public at Tate Modern and to other staff teams and their schedules. It was also great to see how well the three classes worked together and in being so excellently supported by the other members of staff with you.' Well done boys!

Ski Trip 2024

This half-term break was jam-packed with excitement! Finally, some of our students got to embark on the heavily anticipated annual Ski Trip, and this time, they headed to the stunning Austrian Alps! After a journey that was both fun and lengthy, our boys had an entire week to indulge in the joy of skiing. The snow-covered mountains looked absolutely breathtaking, and the boys were itching to hit the slopes (plus, they couldn't get enough of the delicious traditional Austrian food!). Thankfully, the weather cooperated perfectly, adding to their enjoyment. But the trip wasn't all about skiing. After their thrilling days on the slopes, they spent quality time together, watching films, playing foosball, and even hosting a quiz night! A huge thank you to all the staff members who accompanied our students on this trip. Because of you, our boys have made memories that will last a lifetime! For more photos and videos please visit @stigski on X (Twitter), our official Ski Trip account.

London Sinfonietta Residency in our College

St Ignatius College was privileged to host the London Sinfonietta for a residency programme at the beginning of this week. As part of the residency, their orchestra rehearsed in our hall for their concert presented at the Southbank Centre on Wednesday 24 January. Our Year 7s were treated to an open rehearsal, watching up close how an orchestra rehearses. Similarly, the public also had an opportunity to watch a rehearsal, getting an inside perspective on instruments and how a musical piece is put together in an orchestra. Nine of our pupils who attended workshops with the Sinfonietta last year had the wonderful opportunity to perform their piece with the Sinfonietta in the concert at the Southbank Centre. Their performance was outstanding. Finally, 24 Year 9 pupils attended three days of intensive workshops with presenters from the London Sinfonietta focussing on composition skills. Pupils worked in small groups and created their own compositions. With the support of some students from the Purcell Academy, our pupils also learnt how to notate their pieces. Some of the pieces may be performed at a concert in May this year at the Dugdale Centre in Enfield Town.

Tender Workshops

Year 12 and 13 students have participated in a two day workshop in learning about healthy relationships - using the law, dramatic performance, and debate to better understand how to identify and challenge unhealthy relationships. The students have been trained to deliver content to other year groups in knowing the types of abuse, recognising warning signs and where to get support. They passed on this knowledge to all of our year 10 students, and will continue to educate our community during this term. This project was run by Tender and we had members from the Domestic Abuse Commissioner's office come to observe the work being undertaken by Sixth Form students.
