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

🇪🇬 Ancient Egypt 🇪🇬 Today, Primary 6 rounded off their Ancient Egypt topic with an amazing trip to the Ulster Museum in Belfast. We started off with the ‘hands on Ancient Egypt’ experience, handling artefacts, identifying objects and learning all about mummification. We then toured through the museum, exploring all the Ancient Egyptian displays. Next, we came face to face with the mummified remains of Takabuti. Lastly, we finished off with a bit of play with our toys from the past! 🧸 A fantastic day out 😊
Over the last few months Miss Braniff, our LSC Teacher has been working towards achieving the CPD accredited course with Down Syndrome UK demonstrating her continued commitment to providing an inclusive and successful learning environment for children in our school who have Down syndrome. As a member of DSUK's Primary Education Programme this ensures our school has access to expert advice, training and a suite of resources to support education and inclusion. Well done Miss Braniff!
