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.
On Friday, we had the privilege of welcoming Leonard Mullin to our school.
Leonard shared his inspiring journey since his life-changing fall a few years ago and how the Air Ambulance Northern Ireland saved his life.
Leonard inspired us all with his message of resilience, faith and gratitude.
His positive outlook and strength left a lasting impression on us.
Thank you to Leonard and his family for taking the time to visit us.

The Altamuskin Cup took place on Friday 5th June at Cardinal MacRory Park in Dunmoyle, Errigal Ciaran GAA bringing together local schools for a day of football.
Before the games began, we paused for a minute’s silence in memory of Barry Conroy, Principal of St. Oliver Plunkett’s PS, Beragh, whose sudden passing has been deeply felt throughout the local community.
Barry was a passionate advocate for school sport and a loyal supporter of the Altamuskin Cup since its inception.
Last year, Barry proudly guided the St. Oliver Plunkett’s Beragh team to victory in the Mairead Mullin Cup and he had been greatly looking forward to returning to Dunmoyle this year to support another talented group of pupils as they sought to defend their title.
While StOliver Plunkett Primary School and Roscavey Primary School were understandably unable to attend this year's competition, Barry’s presence was very much felt throughout the day.
We continue to keep Barry’s family, school community and the wider Beragh community in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
All schools involved produced outstanding performances throughout the day, demonstrating excellent skill and teamwork.
The Mairead Mullin Cup saw St. Macartan’s, Clogher and Derrylatinee St. Francis' successfully navigating their way through to the final. Derrylatinee reached the decider following a dramatic semi-final victory over St Mary’s Primary School Ballygawley, which required extra time to separate the sides.
In a closely contested final, Derrylatinee delivered a composed team performance to emerge as worthy winners. However, St. Macartan’s, Clogher pushed them all the way, ensuring a thrilling and competitive encounter.
Following the final, the Mairead Mullin Cup was presented to the victorious Derrylatinee captain by Mickey Mullin, Mairead’s father.
In the Pauline Mullin Cup, Friends of Glencull St. Malachy’s, Glencull faced a determined St. Patrick’s, Aughadarragh side in the final. Both teams had come through challenging semi-finals against St. Brigid’s, Altamuskin. In the end, St. Malachy’s were crowned champions, but not without a brave and spirited performance from Aughadarragh.
The Pauline Mullin Cup was presented to the winning captain by Séamus Mullin, Pauline’s brother.
The final accolade of the day was the Player of the Day Award, presented in memory of Shaun Conroy. This award recognises an outstanding individual performance and this year it was awarded by two of Shaun’s sons, Neil and Brian, to Tomas McMullan of Derrylatinee, who sealed the honour with an exceptional display in the final.
We would like to sincerely thank everyone who helped make the day such a success, whether it was refereeing, umpiring, organising teams, making tea, setting out the pitches or helping with the clear-up afterwards. Your support was greatly appreciated.
Congratulations to our pupils of the week this week.
These pupils excelled both in the classroom and on the field of play at the Paddy Bogan Cup.
