Description
betaSt Ignatius College, situated at Turkey Street, Enfield EN1 4NP, is a Catholic voluntary aided, all-boys secondary school for students aged 11-18. Rooted in the Jesuit tradition and founded in 1894 by the Society of Jesus, the college beautifully combines a rich historical background with a modern educational approach. With 1,107 students currently enrolled, the school boasts a motto of "Ad maiorem Dei gloriam" (For the greater glory of God). The school moved to its present location by 1987, following a move from its original site in Stamford Hill, South Tottenham, London.
St Ignatius College has a prestigious alumni base including Spanish civil war veteran John Delaney and notable figures such as Alfred Hitchcock, George Martin, Cardinal John Heenan, and more recently, Gerard Woodward (Booker Prize-nominated novelist), Regé-Jean Page (known for "Bridgerton"), and Kevin Hyland OBE. The school offers a thriving extracurricular program with publications that include the Ignatian (a yearly college magazine) and a termly newsletter, along with a contingent of the Combined Cadet Force (CCF).
