St Ignatius College Celebrates 125 years

25 November 2019

St Ignatius College has provided a Catholic education in the Jesuit tradition for boys aged 11-18 years since 1894 and for girls in our Sixth Form since 2014. 

Originally founded in 1894 and based in Stamford Hill, the College was set up to serve young men in North East London. We have been based on our Enfield site since 1968.

To mark our 125th year, we have celebrated with a formal dinner held at the College in September attended by 200 alumni and special guests. 

We followed this with a whole school Mass held at Westminster Cathedral on 24th January 2020, led by Bishop John Sherrington. 

We are delighted to be able share this milestone with our staff, students, families and friends of the College.

AMDG!
