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

Meet Our Athletes – Part 13: Say Hello to the Amazing Maria! 🏃‍♀️ Next up in our “Meet the Athletes” series is Maria, our fantastic Primary 7 teacher and busy mum of two! Juggling school life and family life, Maria has still found the time and determination to take on the Belfast Marathon Relay — a brilliant achievement in itself. A huge thank you to everyone who has donated so far — your continued support means so much to us all. If you haven’t had a chance yet, please consider supporting Maria and the team by donating or sharing our GoFundMe page. Every contribution helps our school and supports the incredible work of NI Children’s Hospice 💛 Let’s get behind Maria and cheer her on every step of the way! 🎉 https://gofund.me/f8df87de1 #StBrigidsPS #BelfastMarathonRelay #MeetTheAthletes #SchoolCommunity #NIChildrensHospice
What a fantastic start to our P7 trip at the Share Discovery Village! 🌟 Here is a little taste of what we got up to! (More to come in our video in the coming weeks!) Day one has been packed full of adventure, laughter, and new experiences. From the moment we arrived, excitement levels were sky high—and they certainly didn’t drop! The children threw themselves into every activity, showing great teamwork, courage, and plenty of enthusiasm. We’ve already had a go at some brilliant outdoor challenges, with lots of smiles (and a few muddy shoes!). It’s been wonderful to see everyone supporting each other and stepping outside their comfort zones. After a busy day, we’re all settling in well and looking forward to what tomorrow brings. Safe to say, there will be some very tired heads tonight! More updates to follow—stay tuned! 😊 #LearningAndGrowingTogether
🌟 Another Busy Week in P4! 🌟 Our P4 learners have been absolute superstars, diving into everything from ancient history to tricky problem-solving. Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to: 🔤 Phonics Fun: We’ve been mastering our sounds by exploring the tricky variations between ‘or’ and ‘ar’. 🏐 Gaelic with Oisin: We headed out to the pitch to develop our Gaelic football skills. A huge thank you to Oisin for coaching us on our passing and teamwork! 📜 The Romans are Coming: We’ve officially kicked off our Roman projects! This week was all about planning and researching as we began building our Keynote presentations. Watch out, Julius Caesar! 🔢 Maths Whizzes: We put our thinking caps on for some digit card problem-solving and practiced our real-world maths by calculating the total cost of shopping bills. We are supermarket ready! We are so proud of the hard work and creativity shown by everyone!
