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

🧁Primary 3 and LSC’s Bun Sale for Trócaire🧁 Today Primary Three and the LSC held a bun sale in aid of Trócaire. Some of the bakes were of Mary Berry standard 🍰 and the whole school were invited along to buy some of the delicious treats. An outstanding amount of money was raised thanks to all of the hard work put in by the two classes (as well as their families!) and the support of all of the other classes too. Well done everyone. What a fabulous day 👏🏻
🏊‍♀️ Congratulations to Amber and Eryn from P6! 🏊‍♀️ This weekend, these two talented swimmers competed at the Irish Minor Schools Swimming Competition held at the National Aquatic Centre in Dublin. Their dedication and hard work truly shone through, and we couldn't be prouder of their achievements! 🌟 Well done, girls!! 👏
🎸 🎶 Trinity Music Exams Success 🎶 🎸 Congratulations to our two P7 superstars Emily and Rachel who have just done their initial music exams on guitar. Two very dedicated girls who excel in all aspects of school life in St Brigid’s. Well done girls! We can’t wait to hear you in the summer concert 🎵 GHMusicSchool
🌸 P3/4's Special Mother's Day Vases! 🌸 Our amazing P3/4 class have been busy creating beautiful, hand-made vases just in time for Mother's Day! Each vase is filled with love and care, just like the love our incredible mums give us every day. ❤️ "This vase of love, a gift so small, For the best Mum, who gives her all!" We know how special all our mummies are, and we hope these little gifts bring a big smile to their faces this Sunday. Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mums in our school community! 💐
There was such a buzz and excitement about Numeracy this week for #WorldMathsDay as the children and teachers faced challenges around the school! Did you know the most popular month for birthdays in KS2 is May? Did you know May is also the most popular month for staff birthdays? Lots of problem solving, working together and managing and recording so much information to find out these answers! Well done to Erin and Tom who were our Foundation stage winners, P4 class who were our KS1 winners and Jonah, Orla and Connor who were our KS2 winners! 🏆 Everyone enjoyed these numeracy challenges so much that we will have to do another very soon!
And that’s a wrap for our P7 Netball League matches this term. It has been a great opportunity for the girls involved to develop their netball skills against other schools teams at match level. Now it’s time to prepare for the upcoming tournaments in May...
Our Early Years and Foundation Stage staff recently completed their Level One Help Kids Talk Training. The project aims to ensure everyone who has any responsibility for a child prioritises speech, language, and communication development. This project will result in a positive impact across all areas of a child’s life including educational attainment, mental health and wellbeing, social relationships, and employability later in life.
