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

The wet weather this week has not stopped P1K getting outdoors to learn and play. We explored number stories for 3 using natural materials and recording our findings. In Jumpstart, we explored orally describing where the farm animals were down the bank using simple prepositions. We enjoyed outdoor play in our bank area with P1C exploring our new farm shop area and admiring the beautiful flowers brightening up our outdoor area.
What a busy and brilliant time P3 have been having lately! 🌟📚 We’ve been getting super hands-on in numeracy 🧮 — finding the difference in numbers with our build-two-towers subtraction game 🏗️, sorting 2D and 3D shapes outdoors using Carroll and tree diagrams 🌳🔺, and comparing items that are more and less than 1kg ⚖️ We’ve also loved our outdoor phonics hunts 🔍, getting active at Acti Sport with Graham 🏃‍♂️, creating amazing dinosaur dioramas🦖🌿, and having lots of fun in the play park too! 🛝 Well done P3! 💙✨
✖️Multiply the Fun! ✖️ Our P4 classroom has been a hub of energy this week as we mastered our times tables! We’ve been exploring the big secret of multiplication: that it's really just repeated addition in disguise. To help those connections click, we’ve been busy with some fantastic hands-on challenges: * Mathopoly: Buying up the board with some high-stakes mental math! 🎲 * Numicon Patterns: Visually building our repeated addition sentences. * Array Memory Game: Sharpening our focus to match arrays to their facts. * Tarsia Puzzles: Solving timetables to piece together geometric shapes. 🧩 * Hit the Button: Racing against the clock to prove our speed! ⚡ * Lego & Dough: Getting creative by stamping physical groups. 🧱
