St Ignatius to be Rebuilt

17 July 2025

A new chapter. We are thrilled to be able to share with you the great news that a brand-new school building with amazing facilities and grounds is going to be built on our current site.

We were delighted that Bowmer & Kirkland were chosen by the DFE to be the contractors for the project as we feel, they have really tried to reflect our Catholic, Jesuit identity. They are hosting a community engagement event tonight, Thursday 17 July from 5pm–8 pm.

This is an opportunity to speak to Bowmer & Kirkland and representatives from the DFE about the new building and the development of the site. If you are not able to make it then all information and a chance to provide feedback is available on the website: https://stignatiusenfieldplans.co.uk/
