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
Mission Statement
St Brigid’s Primary School seeks to provide a safe, caring, inclusive and stimulating environment in where every child can reach their full their potential.Guided by our Catholic values of love, respect, honesty, kindness, empathy and responsibility we learn and grow together.We aim to provide high quality learning experiences for all our children, in partnership with parents, the parish and wider community.
Following our incredibly successful pilot back in January, we have been thrilled to roll out the Teach to the Beat programme across other classes in the school!
Here is a little snippet of what our pupils got up to during May.
This term, some of our classes have absolutely loved diving into a wide range of musical elements. From exploring tempo and rhythm to understanding texture, they’ve been bringing music to life through hands-on instruments and song both indoors and outdoors.
We are so proud of their creativity and can’t wait to continue our Teach to the Beat journey across all Key Stages next year!
Teach To The Beat
🚶♀️🛴🚲 We were delighted to celebrate achieving our Bronze Active Travel Award! 🏅
We are so proud of everyone's efforts this year to walk, wheel, scoot and cycle to school. 🚶♀️🛴🚲 From our Walking Bus to fun events like Ditch the Dark Day, The Big Walk and Wheel, Dr Bike sessions, Pedal Ready workshops and infrastructure walks, we've seen more and more children choosing active ways to travel to school throughout the year. 🎉
A huge thank you to our friend Tom from Walk Wheel Cycle Trust for all of his support and guidance. The children always loved seeing him visit our school! 😊👏
Well done to our whole school community for helping make active travel a part of everyday life! 🌟💚
🌟 P4/5 Weekly Round-Up 🌟
What a fantastic week of learning in P4/5!
Inspired by our class novel, The Explorer, we designed and built our own ‘rafts’ , just like the characters who travelled through the Amazon rainforest. We investigated buoyancy, testing different materials to discover which floated best and which were less successful. We enjoyed designing, building and improving our raft models while learning about forces and materials. 🚤
⚽ We enjoyed a fun Gaelic session with Oisin, from SAV Sports, developing our skills through a range of engaging activities and games.
🎨 We practised our colours in Irish by playing online games, helping us build our confidence and vocabulary.
🧠 We completed our PAWSB wellbeing programme, learning all about our brains, emotions and breathing techniques to help us regulate our feelings and stay focused. We were delighted to receive our certificates to celebrate completing the course!
🎵 In ICT, we became composers and created our own rainforest-themed songs using GarageBand, experimenting with sounds and rhythms to bring the rainforest to life.
🦁 For creative writing, we finished our animal research, gathering lots of interesting facts to help us write detailed and informative animal reports.
Well done to all of P4/5 for another busy week filled with creativity, teamwork and learning!☺️
