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

๐ŸŒ‹ P4โ€™S MOLTEN MASTERPIECES ๐ŸŒ‹ Our P4 scientists finally reached the ultimate climax of their big project today: Eruption Day! We traded the crisps for chemistry, and the results were absolutely explosive. Check out the journey from snack cans to super-volcanoes: ๐ŸŒ‹ Step 1: The Structure โ€“ We started with empty Pringles cans to give our volcanoes that perfect towering shape. ๐ŸŒ‹ Step 2: Paper-Mรขchรฉ โ€“ We got hands-on with the messy stuff to build up the mountain sides. ๐ŸŒ‹ Step 3: Paint โ€“ Everyone added their own creative touch to make these look like the real deal. ๐ŸŒ‹ Step 4: THE ERUPTION! โ€“ We took them outside for the grand finale. ๐Ÿงช๐Ÿ’ฅ The best part? Seeing those surprised faces the moment the "lava" started bubbling over the top! Scroll through to see our P4 team in action.
