COLLECTIVE WORSHIP Collective worship within St Brigid's is valued by all pupils and members of staff. Talking the time to reflect and celebrate helps children build social skills and strategies needed in future life. These services occur daily for all pupils in a variety of settings. Pupils have whole school, departmental and class assemblies. ​ This time is used to reflect on the moral teachings of The Bible, reflect on current events of significance to the pupils and support leaners with personal, social and emotional situations. Leaners also take part in group singing, celebration and awards assemblies. All pupils also attend our school chapel weekly, for prayer and reflection with our chaplaincy team. They have the opportunity to take part in rosary each day. Pupils are expected to reflect and pray each morning, lunch and end of the school day within their lessons. ​ Watch some significant services below. Service Videos 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 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. Section Title 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 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. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. ​ O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen. Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel Guardian Angel Section Title 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 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. Fatima Prayer Section Title 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 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. Amen

ST BRIGID'S SIXTH FORM Ages 16- 19 At St. Brigid’s we aim to provide a supportive and exciting sixth form experience, which gives students the opportunity to pursue academic interests whilst being guided by a team of excellent specialist teachers. Our school’s friendly and positive ethos enables young people to grow into adulthood with confidence and whilst cementing friendships. ​ The Sixth Form at St. Brigid’s is a time for students to develop a broader awareness and understanding of the world around them and how they play a part in shaping it. As a school with a strong faith tradition and ethos, we hold the concept of service in high regard and are deeply committed to helping our students to become compassionate and resilient leaders; we believe that young people have the potential to bring about positive change both within the local and global community. Our sixth formers are role models for the rest of the school and a particularly rewarding aspect of this is interacting with the younger pupils, further developing St. Brigid’s strong sense of community. LEARNING Small teaching groups mean students learn to listen and present their ideas with thought and coherence, preparing them for university learning. Teachers also have flexibility to personalise learning, whilst nurturing students’ individual interests within an atmosphere of support and challenge. ​ We enjoy an academic tradition, with our students regularly accessing high calibre universities such as Oxford and Cambridge and the institutions within the highly competitive Russell Group. Alongside this, we also have a strong culture of creativity and enquiry, as well as a track-record of developing students as independent learners and as leaders. Many of our students go on to pursue careers in the creative arts and attend highly regarded courses, more recently at The Central School of Speech and Drama and The Arts Educational School, London, for example. All students are valued at St. Brigid’s and we are proud of all of our students fostering an atmosphere where everyone is valued for their individual strengths and talents. This is celebrated at the end of every year with our annual Prizegiving ceremonies. ​ As part of the Denbigh Consortium, we work closely with our neighbours, Denbigh High School in particular, as well as Coleg Llandrillo and Coleg Llysfasi. This is an extremely positive aspect of our sixth form experience as it enables students to access a broader curriculum offer as well as to make new friends. Our students enjoy the opportunity to take a subject at another centre and this is an ideal step towards preparing for Higher Education. 6th Form Consortium Guide Options A TYPICAL DAY A Typical Day: The school day starts at 8.50am with registration. Registration period is used for assemblies on some days, which might be spiritual form time or whole school assemblies.

ALL THE EXTRAS At St. Brigid’s, we have our own Combined Cadet Force on site, which allows students in the senior school to access a range of experiences and to gain additional, worthwhile qualifications from climbing and canoeing to marksmanship and flying. Our sixth form students regularly get to demonstrate leadership and initiative through their CCF experiences, whilst also developing significant team-working skills. The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme is also run by our dedicated staff and this enables students to show their commitment to volunteering and lifelong learning, through acquisition of new skills, as well as determination and resilience when completing their expeditions. Please visit Careers Wales for more information about future pathways. ​ Students are also encouraged to develop important life skills and contribute to the school community through running clubs for our younger learners, ranging from Drama Club to sports clubs. Our prefect team has a prominent presence in the school on a day-to-day basis and the students also organise social events such as the Winter Ball and also the Leavers’ Ball at the end of the academic year. ​ I am very proud to introduce you to the sixth form at St. Brigid’s School. Please look at our prospectus for further information and do not hesitate to contact me should you wish to discuss anything or to arrange a visit. ​ Helen Parry-Hughes, BA (Hons), PGCE, MA Head of 6th Form APPLY Applications for September 2023 from students in at St Brigid’s School or Denbigh High School will be made via the students’ current school. For any prospective candidates wishing to apply from other schools, they should do so through the school that hosts the majority of their preferred option subjects above (i.e. If two of the three chosen options from columns A to D are taught at St. Brigid’s School, the application should be made through St. Brigid’s School and vice versa.) All initial applications or declarations of interest must be submitted for initial planning by the end of Friday 24th March 2023. ** Level 3 Public Services Double Award - This Subject must be chosen in both columns A and B. Coleg Cambria Llysfasi - A Small number of full-time land based qualifications are available as part of the consortium. Please contact Coleg Llysfasi directly for details. ​ All candidates must choose 3 options from columns A to D, with the core-studies (Skills Challenge Certificate) representing the fourth AS level subject. Candidates wishing to study four options would only be able to do so if they achieved exceptional GCSE grades and with the agreement of the Senior Leadership Team. This is in the interest of student wellbeing and due to the significant workload this would present. Under normal circumstances candidates must attain a B grade at GCSE in the subject that they wish to study in the 6th form. In the case of subjects that may not have a preceding GCSE or Level 2 qualification (e.g. Psychology), candidates would be expected to have attained a B grade in GCSE English and a C grade in GCSE Mathematics.
