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

What a wonderful celebration we had for our pupils who made their Holy Communion last Saturday. ✨ We began the day with a beautiful assembly before proudly parading around the yard, where the rest of our school community came out to celebrate and cheer on the children on their special day.☺️ Afterwards, the celebrations continued with a fantastic party filled with a bouncy castle, delicious party food, music and lots of dancing and fun! πŸŽ‰ We were also delighted to welcome the choir and instrumentalists, who joined us on Saturday, to our party celebrations too.🎢 A huge thank you to our PTFA for the lovely party bags and beautiful decorations which helped make the day extra special for everyone. πŸ’™ Thank you to everyone who helped make the day so memorable for our children and families.πŸ₯°
