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!

Year 10's Sport Science Trip

In an exciting endeavour aimed at elevating their NAE grade scores for the Sport Science GCSE, oue year 10 students recently embarked on a four-day expedition to North Yorkshire. During their adventure, the students got to try out a mix of activities that combined learning with hands-on experience. They did experiments in sports science including indoor climbing and bouldering, and took on outdoor challenges that tested their physical abilities such as a road cycling. This gave them lots of chances to learn new things and improve their skills along the way.  As the students come back with new things they've learnt, the experiences they had in North Yorkshire show how doing things hands-on can help them become better leaders in sports science and other areas in the future, well done to everyone!

Spring Concert

Yesterday, our Stage Hall was set for an evening of music, as we held our long-awaited Spring Festival. Our students performed their hearts out, from saxophone melodies, Michael Jackson's 'Smooth Criminal' as a drum arrangement, to an original song written and performed by one of our year 9 students. Thank you to everyone who has joined us on such an amazing night, and even bigger thank you goes to our students who made this evening truly unforgettable.

Swimming Pool Re-Opens

Staff and students at St Ignatius College are celebrating the opening of its newly refurbished swimming pool this week. After previously having had huge problems with the pipework which dates back to the 1960s the 25m indoor swimming pool has under gone an extensive refurbishment over the past few months and now offers students a modern and sleek swimming environment to perfect their skills in the water. Coupled with brand new changing rooms with all mod cons, this is a wonderful addition to the school and wider community. Mary O’Keeffe, Headteacher, said, “Our students have access to some superb facilities now including this beautiful, heated indoor swimming pool. Swimming is such an important skill for our young people to learn not only for their own enjoyment and physical health but also to keep themselves and others safe in and around the water. I am proud that our students will have swimming back on their regular time table and that we are now able to welcome a number of swimming groups from the wider community. I am so grateful to the Diocese and our Trustees who funded these major works. This time last year we were at a loss as to how to manage the situation.” The swimming pool has been refurbished by Hydrospec Swimming Pool Engineers who handed over the site earlier this week.
