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 girls and boys Gaelic footballers! 🏐 Both teams took part in today’s tournament organised by Funfit Sports and gave fantastic performances throughout the day. While the weather certainly made conditions challenging, it didn’t dampen the players’ determination or teamwork. Both teams have qualified for the quarterfinals of the cup, with a special mention to our girls’ team who went unbeaten, winning every single game—a brilliant achievement! Huge credit to all the players for their effort, resilience and sportsmanship, and thanks to Funfit Sports for a great tournament. We’re very proud of you all and look forward to cheering you on in the next round! 💪💙🤍 FunFit Sports
