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

☀️Primary 2 Ice Lolly Picnic ☀️ Our hardworking Primary 2 classes enjoyed a well-deserved Friday treat! ☀️🍭 After a week of hard work and play, some sunshine and ice lollies were the perfect way to celebrate. They had a great time. Well done P2 👏🏼
Don’t forget next week we will be fundraising for our inspirational P3 pupil Clodagh who is heading to the Transplant Games this summer. She will be doing a collection on Tuesday and Thursday next week to raise funds for her trip. We would be grateful for all donations towards this very worthy cause.
🌱🌷Planting Day for Primary Five 🌷🌱 Our Primary Five class spent the afternoon planting flowers in their garden plot. It was a quiet, focused activity, and the pupils took real care in preparing the soil and placing each plant. They’re learning that looking after the environment starts with small steps and sometimes, it begins with just one flower.
