On behalf of the staff and pupils of Scoil Bhríde, I wish you a warm welcome to our school website. 

We, as a team, hope our website gives you a sense of the care and attention that we strive to provide to all pupils, and the playful learning experiences we aspire to create.

At Scoil Bhríde, we believe that children are natural learners. They have an inbuilt curiosity and an eagerness to know more about themselves, others and the world around them. Children learn best when they are ready and their interest is roused. It is our aim to cultivate readiness among our pupils while treating each child as an individual. We provide opportunities for children to develop and learn at their own pace. 

We understand that “big school” is the first major step your child has to take away from you. We are here to support you. We have an experienced team and we endeavour to develop a sense of belonging among our pupils through a positive, inclusive and secure environment. It is our mission that all pupils reach their true potential.

I have had the privilege of working in Scoil Bhríde since 2014. It is a wonderful place to work and a happy place to learn. The culture of Scoil Bhríde is a product of the collegial and dedicated staff, our supportive families and vibrant pupils.

We are extremely grateful for the support, generosity and camaraderie from the parents and families of our pupils, the Parents’ Association, the Board of Management and the wider community.

They say it takes a village…

and there is no village like

Scoil Bhríde and Crosshaven.
