We aim to ensure our curriculum provides appropriate progression for learners of different ages, abilities and aptitudes. We use a variety of assessment methods to ensure that all children are making progress at a rate that is appropriate, but also ensures that our children are stretched and challenged. Our Learning Journey During Lower School we have six overarching themes around which each class plans and delivers their learning these are; People, Together, Fact and Fantasy, Growth, Our World and Change.

The Memorare Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen. Hail, Holy Queen Hail, holy Queen, mother of Mercy. Hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping, in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us; and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary. Pray for us O Holy Mother of God, That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. OUR PRAYERS Our Father Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen Hail Mary Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen Glory Be Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen Morning Prayer Father in Heaven, you love me, You’re with me night and day. I want to love you always In all I do and say. I’ll try to please you, Father. Bless me through the day. Amen. Evening Prayer God our Father, I come to say Thank you for your love today. Thank you for my family, And all the friends you give to me. Guard me in the dark of night, And in the morning send your light. Amen. Fatima Prayer O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, And save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy. Amen Guardian Angel Angel of God, my guardian dear, To whom God's love commits me here, Ever this day, be at my side, To light and guard, Rule and guide. Amen Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in this day of battle. Be our defence against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.

Join us on an fascinating journey through the rich history of our school and it's Catholic foundations. 1939 1939 1939 1939 The School was established in 1939 by the Congregation of St. Brigid, a convent in Ireland, at the invitation of the Bishop of Menevia, and set up in premises on Park Street in Denbigh. In 1943, the Nuns moved the school to the present premises, an early-Victorian house, and the school became St. Brigid’s Convent School, catering for children from age 4 to 18, from all over Britain and Ireland. 1943 1943 1943 1943 1946 1946 1946 1946 In 1946, the Sisters were asked to provide a Catholic education with high academic and disciplinary standards for the daughters of Polish Officers, thus forming the basis of an international dimension of the school. Over the years, it became a very successful boarding school, and became known as the Brigidine Convent During 1990, when due to the lack of vocations, the Congregation were concerned about the future of the school. A former parent, Mr. William Spencer, purchased the property and leased it to a newly-formed Trust, under the patronage of the Bishop of Wrexham, which ran and developed the school, and it grew as a successful Independent Boarding School. In 1999, the school became Voluntary-Aided, supported by Denbighshire local authority, which it remains to this day. 1999 1999 1999 1999 2024 2024 2024 2024 1996 1996 1996 1996 In 1996 the school became Grant Maintained; the first maintained boarding school in Wales.

Statement of Aims and Identity Printable Form Statement of Aims and Identity St Brigid's School, Denbigh. Please read below before applying. RECOGNITION OF AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE SCHOOL’S ROMAN CATHOLIC AIMS AND IDENTITY St Brigid’s School was founded at the request of the Bishop in 1939 to provide for the educational needs of Catholic families in the Denbigh Area, by the Congregation of St Brigid, who ran the School, sometimes known as Brigidine Convent School, until 1990, when it was handed over to an Educational Charity, as St Brigid’s School Limited. The Articles of Association of the School Trust state that “The Company is established for the advancement of the education of children between the ages of 3 and 19, by the provision of a voluntary-aided Roman Catholic School or School for the education of Roman Catholic children, either with or without other Christian or non-Christian children.” The Constitution of the school states that “Religious observance and education in the school shall be in accordance with the rights and practices and doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church” The Governing Body of the School intend that pupils should receive an education of a high standard provided by teachers dedicated to the task of the Christian formation of Children and young people in an atmosphere pervaded by Gospel values and the message of Christ. This means that Religious Education, whilst given full expression in the Prayer life of the School, its acts of worship and instruction in the faith, is not limited to these, and as the Bishops have said, “The beliefs and values it communicates should inspire and unify every aspect of school life. It should provide the context for, and substantially shape the school curriculum and offer living experiences of the life of faith in its practical expression.” Partnership with parents, the primary educators of their children has long been a principle embedded in Catholic education. The Governing Body values and welcomes, above all, the co-operation of parents in seeking to achieve these aims for pupils attending the school.

Croeso i'r Adran Addysg Gorfforol Yn ôl at bob Pwnc Athrawon: Mr N Brearley a Mr R Williams Yma yn St Brigid's rydym yn anelu at wneud eich profiad AG yn un da. Rydym yn cynnig amrywiaeth eang o chwaraeon o fewn gwersi, gan hyrwyddo llawer o rinweddau y mae chwaraeon yn eu cynnig fel Arweinyddiaeth, Chwaraeon, Gwaith Tîm ac ymddygiadau moesol. Mae pawb yn meddwl am yr elfennau ymarferol ar unwaith, ond a ydych erioed wedi ystyried pa mor aml y trafodir materion chwaraeon? Wrth i chi symud ymlaen trwy'r ysgol rydym yn cynnig Gwobr WJEC mewn Addysg Gorfforol a BTEC Lefel 3 mewn Chwaraeon yn CA5. Yn ystod y cyrsiau hyn rydym yn dal i gynnig rhai elfennau ymarferol, ond rydym yn darganfod yr ystod eang o theori chwaraeon, megis Anatomeg a Ffisioleg, Caffael Sgiliau, Seicoleg Chwaraeon a Materion Cyfoes. I ffwrdd o'r ystafell ddosbarth ein nod yw cynnig llawer o gyfleoedd gyda chwaraeon allgyrsiol, gyda chlybiau amser cinio a'r cyfle i gynrychioli'r ysgol yn erbyn eraill mewn cystadleuaeth. Mae'n ffordd wahanol i ddisgleirio yn yr ysgol! Pam dewis AG a phobl enwog sydd wedi llwyddo gyda'r pwnc Mae'r diwydiant chwaraeon a hamdden yn parhau i fod yn un o'r diwydiannau sy'n tyfu gyflymaf yn y byd ac mae'r ystod o gyfleoedd yn y maes hwn yn amrywiol iawn. P'un a ydych chi'n ffansi ffisiotherapi, cyfryngau chwaraeon, datblygu technoleg chwaraeon, addysgu, hyfforddi neu'n perfformio yn syml, mae cefndir cymhwyster cadarn yn y maes pwnc hwn yn fanteisiol. Ymhlith Sêr Chwaraeon enwog Gogledd Cymru mae Rower y Fedalydd Arian Olympaidd Victoria Thornley o St Asaph, y Fedalydd Aur Jade Jones a’r pêl-droediwr Neil Taylor a chwaraeodd i Ddosbarth Ysgol Sir Ddinbych cyn ei wneud yn bêl-droediwr Pro. Daw straeon llwyddiant eraill gan rai fel Adam Owen sy'n Hyfforddwr Ffitrwydd Chwaraeon sy'n gweithio gyda'r Seattle Sounders ar hyn o bryd ac a oedd gyda thîm Cenedlaethol Cymru. Bachgen lleol arall sydd wedi gwneud yn dda. Ble alla i symud ymlaen gyda'r pwnc hwn a dyfyniadau enwog Yn y pen draw, gallwch chi fynd lle rydych chi am fynd gyda chymwysterau chwaraeon, mae'n dibynnu ym mha faes rydych chi am arbenigo. Mae yna amryw o gyrsiau Prifysgol, ond hefyd llwybrau galwedigaethol. Mae chwaraeon yn datblygu'n gyson ac mae gennych gyfle i gyflawni'ch nodau a defnyddio'ch potensial. Hyd yn oed os nad dyna'r ffordd rydych chi am i'ch bywyd fynd, mae parhad bod yn ffit ac yn iach yn un rheswm pam mae chwaraeon mor bwysig yn eich bywyd. Mae corff iach yn cyfateb i feddwl iach. Dylai chwaraeon chwarae rhan yn eich bywyd bob amser. Dyfyniadau Enwog "Peidiwch â bod ofn cael breuddwydion" Chris Coleman "Mae'n anhygoel cael un Aur Olympaidd, ond mae'n rhaid i chi fod yn chwedl i gael dwy, a dyma fy nod yn bendant". Jade Jones "Rydych chi cystal â'ch gêm nesaf, nid eich un olaf, felly canolbwyntiwch ar hynny". Alyn Wyn Jones

Llywodraethwyr Mae'r corff llywodraethu yn chwarae rhan hanfodol yn llwyddiant unrhyw ysgol, gan ddarparu arweiniad strategol, monitro perfformiad a gweithredu fel 'ffrind beirniadol' i'r pennaeth a'r staff. Llywodraethwyr ysgol yw'r heddlu gwirfoddol mwyaf yn y DU. Gall y rhai sydd â diddordeb mewn llywodraethu ysgolion yng Nghymru ddarganfod mwy ar wefan ragorol Llywodraethwyr Cymru. Mae Santes Ffraid yn ffodus o fwynhau cefnogaeth corff llywodraethu bywiog, lleisiol a gweithgar sy'n awyddus i symud yr ysgol yn ei blaen wrth gynnal yr amlygiadau gorau o'n traddodiadau a'n credoau. Rhestr o Lywodraethwyr Cadeirydd: Mr Tony Hannigan Is-gadeirydd: Mrs Mariah Hammersley Llywodraethwyr Sylfaen: Mr Kevin Roberts, Mr Paul Quirk, Dr Markus Hesseling, Mrs Jane Wood, Mr Mick Kumwenda, a Mr Jon Rosser.

Neges gan Riant-lywodraethwyr Annwyl Rieni / Gwarcheidwaid, Fel rhiant-lywodraethwyr ein rôl yw cynrychioli barn a barn y rhieni yn St Brigid's yng Nghorff Llywodraethol yr Ysgol. I'r rhai ohonoch nad ydyn nhw'n hollol siŵr beth mae'r Corff Llywodraethol yn ei wneud, mae i fod i fod y grŵp o bobl sydd â'r cyfrifoldeb eithaf am yr ysgol. Mae hynny'n golygu bod yn rhaid i'r corff llywodraethu drafod a chymeradwyo unrhyw newidiadau mawr mewn ymarfer a chyfeiriad. Os ydych chi eisiau gwybod beth a drafodwyd yn ddiweddar, edrychwch ar y cofnodion diweddar trwy glicio ar gofnodion Cyfarfod y Llywodraethwyr isod. Mae'n bwysig iawn bod rhieni'n cael eu cynrychioli'n dda ac er bod gan y ddau ohonom ein barn ein hunain yn amlwg, dim ond os ydym yn cael adborth ganddynt y gallwn gynrychioli rhieni'n dda. Felly os ydych chi am i ni fynd i'r afael ag unrhyw beth neu os oes gennych gwestiwn i ni, anfonwch e-bost atom.
