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

Well done to our fantastic Well-being Champions who hosted their very first coffee morning today for our parents and grandparents. It was great to have the time and opportunity to connect with our school community and even play a wee game of Bingo! A special thank you to Gary and Nicole Flynn who very generously donated a hamper full of tea, coffee, traybakes and lots of other goodies for this morning. They went down a treat with pupils, staff and parents! We truly appreciate the kindness and generosity within our school community. Our next Well-being Wednesday coffee morning will be on Wednesday 18th December.
Don’t forget to pop in for a cuppa in the morning when you drop the children off ☕️
Our key stage 2 pupils took part in a webinar organised by CCEA focussing on Children and Young People’s Rights. Our children have been learning all about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and enjoyed the opportunity to ask questions directly to Chris Quinn, the NI Commissioner for Children and Young People (NICCY).
This morning our P6 and P7 pupils took part in a Smokebusters workshop delivered by Cancer Focus NI. The workshop focussed on vaping and e-cigarettes. The children took part in role play scenarios of how we might deal with peer pressure if our friends were encouraging us to use these harmful products.
Thank you to Miss Bogues and Linda the Downpatrick Asda Community Champion for arranging mince pies for prospective parents on arrival at our Open Evening last night.
🎶🎄Carol singers at Strangford Court, Lecale Lodge and The Downe Hospital🎄🎶 Today our P7 choir members took their annual trip to the local nursing homes and hospital. We got such a warm welcome and we just loved performing for all of the people in our community and bringing a smile to their face. We had the best day today spreading some festive cheer with our lovely musicians. Thank you so much everyone for having us as always and for our treats too. We will see you all next year 🥰🎄🎵
Thank you FunFit Sports 🤸‍♀️ and see you soon 🤩
We are looking forward to welcoming all prospective parents and children to our Open Night tomorrow evening from 6.00pm - 7.30pm. If you are unable to make our Open Night please contact the school office and we will be happy to arrange a tour on an alternative day for your family.
