'Speak Out Challenge' Victory for St Ignatius
13 February 2025
We were honoured to host the Jack Petchy ‘Speak Out Challenge’ regional finals here on Monday. The evening showcased the talents of 15 young speakers from schools all over Enfield whose journeys had started when they participated in workshops delivered by The Speakers Trust in their own schools.
It was no small feat delivering their speeches to a panel of 7 discerning judges as well as a large audience and we applaud of all of the participants for presenting themselves so well.
We are very proud of our Year 10 students who took part; Adam Ravatt winning the competition and Demir Seyranoglu coming third. Adam’s performance will now go through to the semi final selection day where the judges decide who goes through to the grand final in July where they perform to an audience of over 1000 people!

We finished the term with a Tenebrae Service. After each of six readings, a candle was extinguished and the lights turned down. After the seventh reading, the candle was taken out of the chapel, leaving us in darkness and silence to reflect.#AMDG #ReadyToSetTheWorldAlight pic.twitter.com/6K9Brdb8kZ

What's the one book you would recommend? The new box (kindly crafted by Ms Desouza) is up and running in the library and being filled up with book recommendations. You can fill out a card or recommend one here with a reply #AMDG #ReadyToSetTheWorldAlight #BookRecommendation pic.twitter.com/whOT7AL0VW

Our Sixth Formers attended the Model United Nations conference which replicates the inner workings of the actual UN, each of them making speeches, writing resolutions and debating amendments in contemporary topics. We look forward to next year!#AMDG #ReadyToSetTheWorldAlight pic.twitter.com/A74s8B5dn7

Students spent a night sleeping out to raise money for JRS UK (Jesuit Refugee Service). They heard a talk about JRS UK, shared a simple meal and took part in prayer before settling down

We are delighted that Ofsted consider us to be outstanding in several areas.
They said that teachers "are experts in their subject and present information with absolute clarity" and students "take pride in their work".#AMDG #ReadyToSetTheWorldAlighthttps://t.co/MQe27EfryC pic.twitter.com/7remFqe4m7
