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

Welly Wednesday in EY1 ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒณ Today the children enjoyed their first official Forest School session! We explored the signs of the changing seasons in our banks area, spotting bright sunshine and beautiful daffodils along the way. ๐ŸŒผโ˜€๏ธ The children created some lovely daffodil artwork using real daffodil petals and mud paint, making wonderful spring-inspired creations. There was also plenty of child-led exploration, with lots of happy moments at the digging area, mud kitchen and climbing area. It was fantastic to see every child smiling, exploring and enjoying the outdoors. A wonderful way to start our Wednesday! ๐Ÿ’›
๐Ÿฅ‰3rd Place inโ€ฆ๐Ÿฅ‰ Our amazing school choir took part in the Blackwater Choir Festival, last week, and came away with a fantastic 3rd place. We could not be prouder of them all!โ˜บ๏ธ For their first ever competition they showed confidence, energy and plenty of smiles. A brilliant achievement and a fantastic experience for everyone involved. A huge thank you to everyone at Blackwater Integrated College for organising such a wonderful festival and giving our choir such a great first competition experience. Well done everyone. We are very proud of you all and we cannot wait to see what you do next. ๐ŸŽค๐Ÿ‘
Tonight was our big finale of Cinderella Rockerfella when our P6 and P7 stars once again took to the stage one last time to show their incredible talents! Many thanks to Councillors Conor Galbraith, Oonagh Hanlon and Cllr. Philip Campbell who came out in support of our children and our school community.
