Welcome to St. Brigid's Primary School, Altamuskin

Welcome to St. Brigid’s Primary School, Altamuskin's website.

St. Brigid’s Primary School, Altamuskin is a caring and inclusive school where every child is valued and encouraged to reach their full potential.

Guided by our mission, “Strive to be better every day,” we aim to create a positive learning environment where children are supported to grow academically, spiritually and personally.

As a Catholic school inspired by St. Brigid, we seek to empower every child to learn with joy, grow with courage and act with kindness in a community built on respect and belonging. 

Our school values of Belonging, Respect, Resilience, Gratitude, Faith and Kindness are at the heart of everything we do and help shape our pupils into confident, compassionate and responsible individuals.

Working in partnership with parents and our wider community, we encourage our children each day to live out these values and always strive to be better.

We hope you enjoy exploring our website and learning more about life at our school.

📣 Can you help us solve an art mystery? While sorting through one of our school store rooms, we’ve rediscovered a wonderful piece of artwork and we’re hoping it might spark some memories! 🖼️✨ We believe this piece was created by a a group of former pupils but unfortunately, we don’t have a date or record of when it was completed. Does this look familiar to you? We’d love to hear from past pupils, staff or anyone connected to the school community who might be able to help us place it in time.
🎭 Feis Fun🎶 Well done to all our boys and girls who took part in the Feis over the past couple of weeks, across both the Poetry and Prose and Piano sections. 🎭🎶 We are very proud of every child who took part and for putting the effort in to doing their very best. A special congratulations as well to the our pupils who were awarded medals and recognition for their performances. You represented our school brilliantly 😀
Our pupils thoroughly enjoyed attending today’s Irish Language Blitz in Dunmoyle. It was a fantastic day where they not only took part in plenty of football, but also picked up some new bits of Irish along the way. A special mention to Luke and Chloe who were awarded medals for being the standout pupils from St. Brigid’s. Mile buíochas to Mark Harte for organising such a brilliant blitz.
