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

This week Early Years have been creating Digital Art pieces using the app BoardMaker🧊🐻‍❄️ The children have been learning about Cold Lands and some of the animals that live in these places. They created beautiful Arctic scenes using polar bears, penguins, igloos, icebergs and so much more🐧 ⭐️
We have been busy with lots of practical learning across the curriculum in P2K this week. 🔡We explored alphabetical order outdoors. We worked as a team putting the letter cones and mats into alphabetical order. 💰 We have been making amounts upto 20p using familiar coins. 🧸 In World Around Us we have been exploring the properties of toys. We worked in a group to identify the material the toy was made off, what it feels like and what it can do. We now have a better understanding of why different toys are made from certain materials.
P6/7 and P7 faced some tough maths challenges today with the Eliminator Task in Izak 9. The two groups had to set maths questions for the other group to solve. Excellent team work and problem solving skills from both groups and the children set such challenging questions for each other!
‘The inclusion of all children in the life of the school is a central feature of the provision.’ - Education and Training Inspectorate, May 2024 Our quick-read child-friendly guide should give you a clear overview of the different classes within our provision and which will be best placed to meet your child’s educational needs. The wide range of classes available at St Brigid’s allows us to fulfill our school motto of ‘Learning and Growing Together’.
Thank you to Lucy Hamill’s dad Chonnal who recently helped us relocate our outdoor construction area including builders hut (previously sponsored by KAP Properties) to the forest area. This has now provided children across all the key stages with an opportunity to learn through exploration during break, lunch and outdoor learning.
Another nice treat!
💡✍️P7 Creative Writing Workshop ✍️ 💡 Today Primary 7 took part in a Creative Writing Workshop led by Fighting Words NI. They are a NI based youth charity whose focus is to empower young people through the ‘transformative power of creative writing.’ The children participated with fantastic enthusiasm and it was great to see the creative writing skills of our budding authors on show!
