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

Today we welcomed the Amazon Jungle Show to school for Primary Two and Early Years. The children enjoyed getting up close with a range of jungle animals including a gecko, tarantula, snake, tortoise and lizard. Thank you to Catherine for her insightful knowledge of all the creatures. The children thoroughly enjoyed getting to hold and touch the animals 🐍 🕷️ 🦎 🐢
On Friday our problem solving skills got put to the test as we took part in a live Izak 9 session, competing against schools throughout the country. We worked together to solve a range of challenges testing our knowledge of factors, prime numbers, number sequences, fractions, decimals and percentages!

🍎✏️P3/4 Fraction Frenzy ✏️🍎 Our P3/4 superstars have been on a fraction adventure this week! 🎉 They've confidently calculated fractions of sets, become experts at spotting equivalent fractions, and are now whizzes at matching fraction pictures, words, and symbols. We are so proud of their progress!
Well done to Cathal and Louie from Ballynagross FC Under-10s who clinched the shield at the Cliftonville Tournament. A special mention to Louie who netted not one, but two dazzling goals! Keep an eye out for these future stars ⚽️ ⚽️
