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

🌟 Primary 6 have had an incredibly busy (and brilliant!) couple of weeks 🌟 As part of our Ancient Egypt topic, the children created stunning Egyptian headdresses using Adobe Fresco for our digital art task – their creativity really shone through. We were also blown away by the amazing home projects, including pyramids, mummies, headdresses, jewellery, tombs and pharaohs. What an effort from everyone! πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈπŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈ Primary 6 also took part in our sponsored walk for TrΓ³caire, raising an incredible Β£1200 out of the school total of Β£2500 – a fantastic achievement that we are very proud of. A special shout out goes to Tiernan, Lucy (zoom in!) and Nia, our top three fundraisers πŸ‘ 🧠 Alongside all of this, the children tackled a variety of problem-solving tasks, showing brilliant teamwork, perseverance and thinking skills. 🍦 To top it all off, we enjoyed some delicious ice cream as a reward for our fundraising – a big thank you to Miss Braniff for the treat! Now it’s time to rest, relax and enjoy the Easter break 🐣🌷 Well done, Primary 6 – you’ve earned it!
✨ πŸ“° Extra! Extra! Read all about it! πŸ“°βœ¨ A huge round of applause for our Primary 7 pupils who have officially completed The Irish News Young News Reader programme! It has been a joy to watch our classrooms transform into mini-newsrooms over the past few weeks. We are so proud of the way our students have dived into the world of current affairs, sharpening their discussion skills and growing in confidence when sharing their unique perspectives on the world around them. From breaking news to big debates, our P7s have shown they are the critical thinkers of tomorrow.
What a fantastic way for EY1 to finish their Rainforest topic with a trip to Belfast Zoo! πŸŒΏπŸ¦’ We loved seeing the giraffes, penguins, seals and monkeys up close. Everyone had a well-earned snack and we finished the day having so much fun playing in the park together too.πŸ§πŸ’πŸ¦­ A brilliant day of learning, exploring and making memories! ✨
