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

๐ŸŽ„โœจ Spreading Christmas Cheer Today! โœจ๐ŸŽ„ Today, our wonderful P7 School Choir had the absolute pleasure of visiting Strangford Court and Lecale Lodge Nursing Homes to share some festive joy through song. ๐ŸŽถโค๏ธ Alongside their beautiful singing, a group of talented pupils also performed on the violin, adding an extra special touch to the carols and creating a truly magical atmosphere for residents and staff. It was a heartwarming experience, bringing big smiles to everyone who listened and reminding us all what the season of giving is all about. We are incredibly proud of our pupils for representing our school so wonderfully and for spreading so much happiness in our local community. Well done P7 Choir and musicians! ๐ŸŒŸ Thank you to the staff and residents of Strangford Court and Lecale Lodge for such a warm welcome โ€” we hope our visit brought a little extra Christmas magic! ๐ŸŽ„โœจ
