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

🏐 Lecale Trinity Grammar Blitz – P4 & P5 Gaelic Football 🏐 Well done to all our fantastic P4 and P5 boys and girls who represented the school brilliantly today at the Lecale Trinity Grammar Blitz! A special thank you to Peter for organising such an enjoyable and well-run event.
🌳Forest School🌳 We recently welcomed Caoimhe back to our school for our second Forest School modelling session, building on the children’s growing confidence and curiosity in the outdoor environment. Our EY1 children took part in an exciting minibeast hunt, carefully exploring different areas of the forest to discover a variety of tiny creatures in their natural habitats. The children showed great enthusiasm as they searched under logs, leaves, and stones, developing their observation skills and learning about the importance of caring for living things. Meanwhile, Primary One focused on campfire experiences. They learned about fire safety, including how to behave responsibly around a fire and the importance of listening carefully to instructions. The session ended on a high note as the children enjoyed toasting marshmallows and making their own s’mores, celebrating their learning together in a fun and memorable way.
☀️ Sunshine and Celebrations for Primary 7 ☀️ We are so proud of our Primary 7 children who celebrated their Sacrament of Confirmation on Friday. Today the children enjoyed a wonderful day together making memories in the sun. The children and Choir were treated to a delicious celebratory cake, which disappeared in record time! A huge thank you to our amazing St Brigid's PTFA for their generosity in gifting every P7 child with a special party bag. It was the perfect treat for a perfect day! 🛍️✨
