St. Brigid's N.S.

BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR SCHOOL:

St Brigid’s N.S. was founded in 1974. Our first classes were held in the hall of St. Brigid’s Church before we moved into two pre-fabricated buildings on a green-field site beside the old Blood Mill Road. Since then, as the new parish community grew so did the school.
In 1980, we got our first permanent building. In 2002, the new infant department was built, leaving only two pre-fabs. However, due to further growth in pupil numbers we will have a double pre-fab opening in September 2006.
Our staff numbers have grown from 2 teachers in 1974, to today’s 20 teachers, 3 Special Needs Assistants, a secretary and a caretaker. The school is managed by a very committed Board of Management and supported strongly by a hard-working Parents Council.
