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

Life in St Brigid's

Tonight we celebrated Primary 7’s Service of Light. We are so proud of all your hard work in preparation for tonight and your beautiful singing throughout the service.
Well done to our P7 footballers who had their first outing at the East Down Football League today. The boys performed well and won all three of their games!⚽️
Our digital leaders, The Techno Turtles, celebrated EU Code Week, with a coding workshop. We used Micro:Bit, Sphero, Dot and Dash, Beebot, and Scratch, to create algorithms, scripts and debug any errors, to programme our equipment. It was also a great day, as we got our badges and officially became Digital Leaders in our school.
🔎🍁Outdoor Play🍁🔎 Primary One children had an abundance of learning opportunities to develop negotiation skills, problem-solving, self-regulation strategies and social skills while playing outdoors in our wonderful bank area.
Our KS2 Lunch Lounge is up and running and there has been a great response from the children. We understand that the dinner hall can be a distressing experience for some children where they may be overwhelmed and struggle with noise, light and smells. Other children may just enjoy a quieter space to eat lunch with a friend. We are delighted to be able to provide access to a sensory-friendly, quiet space for eating and relaxation during lunch time for all KS2 pupils. Thank you to our cook Nuala and her team for also helping us facilitate this for children who order a hot dinner.
Messy Play in Early Years👨🏻‍🚒👷🏻‍♀️🚓 Early Years had so much fun today learning about People Who Help Us in our play session with Splat Messy Play🤩 The children loved exploring the different textures, smells and sounds of all the amazing tuff trays⭐️
This morning P2 went on a walk in our local area of Downpatrick. The children enjoyed working in groups, spotting all the places of interest on their checklist and using the iPad to take photos of these. Next we are looking forward to using our research skills to explore and examine photos of Downpatrick in the past to see if we can recognise the places of interest we took photos of today. We even managed to stop in Mabel's Ice Cream Parlour for a sweet treat to keep our energy levels up along the route.
