Welcome

 

As the Principal of St Brigid’s Primary School, I extend to you a very warm welcome to our website.  Through this we aim to give you a flavour of some of the school events, visitors and experiences offered to our children.

St Brigid’s is a Catholic maintained, co-educational primary school, where the children are at the heart of every decision we make and everything we do. We value the great relationships that we have formed with our parents and acknowledge the dedicated work and commitment of the Staff, Governors and Parents Association.

We enjoy a warm, welcoming, inclusive atmosphere and it is this distinctive ethos which enables the children to flourish and succeed giving them the skills, attitudes and desire to achieve their full potential. 

I hope that you find our website informative and interesting and gain some insight into how we fulfil our school motto: 'Learning and Growing Together'.  If you would like to see our school and experience our ethos I would be delighted to meet with you.

Thank you for visiting our website.

Kind regards

Dolores Miller

Principal

πŸŽ‰ What a fantastic week in Primary 6! πŸŽ‰ We worked hard and had plenty of fun along the way: βœ… In Numeracy, we explored 2D shapes and sorted them by their properties using Carroll diagrams. ✏️ In Literacy, we took our learning outdoors and used adverbs to make our writing even more exciting! 🏐 We enjoyed a brilliant Gaelic session with OisΓ­n, our coach. 🌲 We collected sticks for our Christmas crafts and turned them into beautiful Christmas trees. πŸ’ƒ Thursday was all about dancing at our Christmas Disco! 🎨 We finished the week decorating our trees, visiting the Primary 7 Craft Fair, and sharing a delicious hot chocolate with friends. A perfect mix of learning, creativity, and festive fun! πŸŽ„βœ¨
πŸŽ„ STEM Christmas Tree Challenge P4/5 πŸŽ„ Our P4/5 class had a fantastic time taking part in a festive STEM challenge this week. Pupils began by using a planning sheet to brainstorm and plan their ideas before building, just like real engineers. βœοΈπŸ’‘ Using skewers and marshmallows, teams worked together to create their own Christmas tree sculptures, testing structures, solving problems and adapting designs as they went.🧐 We were especially impressed by the teamwork on display. The table showing the best collaboration was awarded an extra five skewers to enhance their design. πŸ‘πŸŒŸ A brilliant mix of creativity, communication and critical thinking. Well done P4/5 πŸŽ„πŸ§ 
🎨✨ EY1 Messy Play Day Fun! ✨🎨 Our EY1 children had a fantastic messy play day, kindly organised by our wonderful PTFA. The children loved getting creative with crafts and exploring a variety of sensory play. There was lots of excitement, curiosity, and hands-on learning as they explored different textures and materials. A huge thank you to our PTFA for creating such a fun and memorable experience! πŸ’›πŸ‘
