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

As part of their final days at our school, our P7 pupils had great fun taking part in a special “Dress as a Staff Member” day! 🎉 The children loved stepping into the shoes of our amazing team, dressing up as many familiar faces from their journey through our school. The effort, creativity, and attention to detail were fantastic to see, and there were plenty of smiles all round! (Even some of the P7 staff dressed as the kids! 🤣) #P7Leavers #SchoolCommunity #MakingMemories #Leavers2026 #ClassOf2026
🍕🎉 P7 Pizza Party 🎉🍰🍬 Our P7 pupils had a fantastic time at their Pizza Party today! There was plenty of delicious pizza, lots of sweets, and a very special Leavers’ Cake to enjoy. Most importantly, there was lots of laughter and fun as everyone spent time together with their friends. A huge thank you to our wonderful P7 Classroom Assistants – Mrs Smyth, Mrs Hanna, Miss Cullen, Mrs Young, Mrs Steele and Mr Reynolds – for organising this special treat for the Class of 2026. A special thank you also to Domino’s Downpatrick for the yummy pizzas, which went down a treat with everyone! 🍕 It was lovely to see so many happy faces and everyone having such a great time. 😊 #ClassOf2026 #Leavers2026 #PizzaParty #LearningAndGrowingTogether
