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

Big Summer Read 2026 – Get Involved with Libraries in Newry, Mourne and Down! This summer, why not grow your child’s love of reading with The Big Summer Read from Libraries NI? 🌞 Running from 29 June – 31 August, children can sign up at their local library and read at their own pace, choosing books they love.
P7 and LSC2 had a fantastic day at Downpatrick Racecourse exploring the fascinating world of horses! 🐎 During their visit, the children enjoyed a guided tour of the racecourse, learning all about how racehorses are cared for, trained and prepared for race day. They had the opportunity to see different areas of the racecourse, meet some of the staff, and discover the many roles involved in keeping the racing industry running smoothly. The pupils asked lots of excellent questions and showed great enthusiasm throughout the day. It was a wonderful hands-on learning experience that helped bring the world of horses and racing to life. A huge thank you to everyone at Downpatrick Racecourse for making us feel so welcome and for providing such an enjoyable visit. We had a brilliant time! 😊
