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

In P2 we have been really enjoying our new topic of Once Upon A Time exploring fairytales and traditional tales through play based learning activities both indoors and outdoors.
🏐 Girls indoor Cumann na mBunscol blitz 🏐 Well done to some of our girls footballers today who competed in the indoor Cumann na mBunscol. The girls represented our school and their clubs to the highest of standards and played with a smile on their face. Well done girls 👏🏼
Our P7 boys enjoyed their second outing at the East Down football league yesterday ⚽️ They all put their best foot forward and won their first game 2-0 against Killyleagh and narrowly lost out on the second match 2-1 against Moneyrea. Great effort!
✨ Primary Five Grow in Love✨ Our P5s had an amazing time today exploring the Ten Commandments through Godly play! With hands-on storytelling and plenty of wonder, they learned how these special rules help us love God and each other. It was a fun and thoughtful way to dive into God’s word—faith and creativity in action! 🌟
🌟Shared-Eduction🌟 Mrs. McCavera’s P1 class, P2K and P2B enjoyed a visit to Downpatrick Primary School as part of our Shared-Education Programme ☺️ We had so much fun making new friends, taking part in PDMU lessons, music and PE 🎵🏃‍♂️ Thank you to Downpatrick Primary for a wonderful day!
🐝 Busy Bees in Primary Three 🐝 We have been working incredibly hard this past week in Primary Three and have hit the ground running in Term 2! We have been making amounts of money (even beyond £1!!) in practical numeracy lessons. We have also been enjoying some practical Literacy lessons too for example in phonics and our grammar activity this week. We have had such good fun in our weekly Gaelic sessions too with coach Oisin! What a fabulous start back to school 📚
