Scoil Bhride

The aim of Scoil Bhride is to provide a Christian, caring, learning environment, which facilitates the nurturing of each pupil’s full educational potential.  The achievement of this aim informs all of the planning processes and activities which occur in our school.  Teachers and parents are partners in the children’s education, with co-operation and communication between home and school being vital ingredients in the educational process.  We share the same aim i.e. the well being of the children in our care.  This prospectus has been produced with the express purpose of sharing information with parents concerning school policies, rules and routines. Scoil Bhride operates in accordance with the Education Act 1998 and all other relevant legislation.

We, the Board of Management of Scoil Bhride, hope that each child will have a very enjoyable time in this school and that the information provided will prove to be of major benefit.

Scoil Bhride promotes values in a learning community, where children can grow in knowledge and understanding and in the acquisition of skills, attitudes and values.

We are fully committed to offering excellence in education by:

• promoting the highest possible achievement for our pupils;
• encouraging children to grow within the Catholic faith;
• establishing the foundations for lifelong learning;
• welcoming input from parents to complement the skills and experience of our professional teaching staff;
• ensuring that our school is central to the parish, reaching out to embrace the wider community;

Our aim is that all children should leave Scoil Bhride with the basic skills of reading, writing and numeracy, an enthusiasm for learning, and a thirst for knowledge, an appreciation for their religion and the world they live and, above all, many happy memories.
