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

This week our P7 children began their first sessions of “Still I Rise“ workshops. These workshops use stories to open mind and hearts, exploring culture and diversity. These sessions aim to help the children develop a deeper understanding of culture and diversity, spark empathy, and build a world where everyone feels seen, heard, valued and respected.
What an amazing way to round off the Big Walk & Wheel! 🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️🛴 It’s been incredible seeing so many of our children walking, scooting and cycling to school over the past while — such a fantastic effort from everyone involved! 🌟 We wrapped it all up today with our Walking Bus, which was a huge hit from both the Golf Club and the Cultúrlann routes! 🚌👣 A huge well done to our prize winner Peyton 🎉🏆 who won our Big Walk & Wheel raffle! All children who walked, cycled or scooted to school this week were entered — a brilliant incentive and effort by everyone 👏 Well done to all of our amazing children- keep it going! 🎉👏 Walk Wheel Cycle Trust Northern Ireland
Another busy and exciting week in our P4/5 class! 🎉 We held a Trócaire bunsale for the whole school 🧁, counting money and working together, while remembering the true meaning of Trócaire and helping those in need around the world 🌍 In PE, we practised our Gaelic skills, focusing on hand passing and teamwork 🏐 Maths was full of challenges, with lots of problem solving as we counted rectangles and triangles hidden within larger shapes 🔺🔷 Our P4 pupils got creative, designing beautiful stained glass windows as they prepare for their Communion ✝️ In literacy, we worked hard on our “Jumpstart” activities, building stronger sentences using powerful adjectives and verbs ✍️
