St. Brigid’s we are small enough to know each pupil’s name and provide a secure, family-oriented environment, but large enough to deliver a rich and diverse curriculum. We are well supported by our governors and parents and have an active School Association. St Brigid’s is beautifully situated on the A543 on the outskirts of Denbigh, a Medieval Walled Town, set in the grounds of an early – Victorian house, surrounded by parkland. We strive to provide high-quality education for all our pupils, enhanced by a caring and positive ethos in our school. We pride ourselves on Christian family values and we recognize the development of the whole person. We seek “to inspire and be inspired” through “Respect, Love, Faith, Truth, and Excellence.” The School was established in 1939, by the Congregation of St Brigid and set up on-premises in the town of Denbigh. In 1943, the nuns moved the school from Park Street to the present premises, and the school became St Brigid’s Convent School, catering to children from the age of 4 to 18. In later years, it was known as Brigidine Convent. In 1996 the school became the first Maintained (state) Boarding School in Wales. With changes introduced in 1999 by the Schools Standard and Framework Act, the School became a Voluntary-Aided school supported by the Denbighshire Local Education Authority. In 2013 boarding closed and St Brigid’s became a day school only. St Brigid’s serves a large catchment area stretching from Llandudno in the West to the Welsh Borders in the East, and beyond Ruthin in the South. St Brigid’s School aims to provide an excellent Christian Education which will enable each pupil to develop their talents to the full and produce the qualities of Character, both spiritual and academic which will lead them naturally into responsible adult life. St Brigid’s provides an atmosphere where the basic values of the Christian family living are of prime importance. A place where education and culture are appreciated for their intrinsic worth, where the development of the whole person through a multitude of disciplines, gives each one a sense of dignity and worth.

We work very closely in partnership with our parents/carers and value your help and support in providing the very best all-around education with high standards and expectations. We provide a structured and balanced curriculum in line with local and national priorities in well-maintained and resourced surroundings. We encourage a pleasant, caring, well-ordered and purposeful environment where talents are recognized and achievements rewarded. A strong emphasis is placed on our Christian faith and we aim to develop a genuine knowledge and love of God in our children’s lives. The Scottish Curriculum is currently under review and schools are working towards implementing “Curriculum for Excellence”, which is based on the following values in Scottish Education: Wisdom Justice Compassion Integrity The Purpose of Scottish Education in the 21st Century is to ensure that our children are:- Successful Learners, Confident Individuals Responsible Citizens, and Effective Contributors. In St Brigid’s Primary School, we believe that we are already developing these four capacities in our children, and continue to strive for excellence. As a Catholic school, relationships in St Brigid’s Primary are founded on the belief that each person is made in the image and likeness of God. This document describes the approaches and procedures that will be used throughout the school in our promotion of positive behavior. As it is a whole-school approach, it imposes a large degree of collective responsibility upon everyone to adhere to the procedures detailed below and to remain ‘true to the spirit’ of the positive approach philosophy. However, we have also tried to retain a measure of flexibility that will allow staff to use their judgment in each situation they deal with and to react appropriately to the circumstances of the moment. Children’s behavior is often referred to in this document. By behavior, we mean not only how children treat each other and their surroundings, but also their attitudes to work and the way they approach their learning. The rules outlined below cover nearly all eventualities and should operate in all areas throughout the school. The left-hand column contains positive rules and we should encourage children to observe these. The right-hand column contains more traditional negative rules and children should be discouraged from behaving in the way described. While the emphasis should always be on the positive promotion of the first set, there will be times when it is more appropriate to say, ‘Don’t!’ View full school
