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

πŸ₯ͺ The Toastbusters πŸ₯ͺ This year, our school has seen a fantastic pupil-led initiative in action through the Toastbusters β€” a hands-on project designed to help children develop real-life money management skills, food preparation skills, and an understanding of planning and organisation. Throughout the school year, MiceΓ‘l, Christopher, Kristofers, Thomas, and Lucas from P7 took on the responsibility of planning, budgeting, and organising the purchase of ingredients and preparation of toasties for their peers and school staff. They learned how to work within a budget, shop according to a list, make thoughtful decisions about cost and value, and develop important food preparation skills. What started as a P7 initiative soon grew, with the group expanding their efforts to include making toasties for our P6 as well. Their teamwork, commitment, and enthusiasm made a genuine impact across our school. The Toastbusters have also helped support wider school life β€” including contributing to new microphones for P7 productions and events (in collaboration with our Digital Leaders), supporting School Council fundraising activities, and helping to fund bowling for all P7 pupils on their end-of-year trip to Airtastic. We would like to extend a huge thank you to our school community for their continued support of the Toastbusters throughout the year. Your encouragement and willingness to support this initiative helped make all of this possible. A very special thank you to Mrs Moore for our lovely Toastbuster-themed cupcakes - they were yum! πŸ˜‹ #ClassOf2026 #Leavers2026 #Toastbusters #LearningAndGrowingTogether
