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. The governing Body has agreed that all parents seeking a place at this school should be required to sign below to signify that they understand and accept this statement of aims and identity for pupils at the school.

- Chaplaincy | St Brigid's School
Caplaniaeth Mae gennym Bolisi Drws Agored yn St Brigid's. Waeth pa gam mewn bywyd yr ydym ynddo, mae angen rhyw fath o gefnogaeth ar bob un ohonom. Bydd llawer o fyfyrwyr yn defnyddio'r cyfleuster hwn i ddelio â phroblem neu geisio cymorth. Gellir disgrifio ein Caplaniaeth o dan y penawdau canlynol; Gweinidogaeth i'r myfyrwyr. Gweinidogaeth i deulu'r myfyriwr. Gweinidogaeth i bob aelod o staff. Gweinidogaeth i gyn-ddisgyblion. Gweinidogaeth trwy'r litwrgi. Trwy arwain a threfnu gweddi, myfyrdod a mathau eraill o litwrgi mae Santes Ffraid yn atgoffa'r myfyrwyr fod Duw gyda nhw trwy fywyd ac yn arbennig trwy'r flwyddyn ysgol. Mae'r Gaplaniaeth yn gweithio'n agos gyda phawb sy'n ymwneud â hyrwyddo "Nodau" Ysgol Santes Ffraid gan gysylltu'n agos ag Addysg Grefyddol ar faterion moesol yn seiliedig ar y persbectif Catholig. Yn y pen draw, mae'r Gaplaniaeth yn ceisio hyrwyddo ymwybyddiaeth o gariad Crist tuag at bob aelod o gymuned yr ysgol ac maen nhw'n gweithio gyda'i gilydd i gydnabod yr anghenion yn y gymuned a'r tu allan iddi, gan helpu ei gilydd i gyflawni geiriau Iesu Grist fel y'u hysgrifennwyd yw Sant Efengyl Mathew: "Arglwydd, pryd welson ni ti eisiau bwyd a dy fwydo di, neu syched a rhoi diod i ti? Pryd welson ni dy ddieithryn a gwneud i chi groesawu, noeth a dilladu ti? Pryd wnaethon ni ddod o hyd i ti'n sâl neu yn y carchar a mynd i dy weld ti? " A bydd y Brenin yn ateb, "Mewn gwirionedd rwy'n dweud wrthych, i'r graddau y gwnaethoch chi hyn un o lest fy mrodyr a chwiorydd, gwnaethoch hynny i mi". 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. Learners 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. 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. 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. Amen Sister Elizabeth Kelly Roedd y Chwaer Elizabeth Kelly, CSB a adwaenir yn fwy hoffus fel "Sister Liz" yn gyn-ddisgybl, athrawes a Phennaeth Santes Ffraid. Yn dilyn ei hymddeoliad, daeth yn Gaplan Santes Ffraid. Since her passing she is still remembered by everyone at St. Brigid's. Her spirit and beliefs will always be a part of our school. Yn syml iawn, y Chwaer Liz oedd "St Brigid's" ac mae ei phersonoliaeth a'i hethos yn dal i atseinio heddiw.

We closely monitor attendance, punctuality and learner engagement at all times to ensure your children have the best possible access to the curriculum throughout each academic year. Where necessary we will liaise with excellent outside agencies that we collaborate with ensuring pupils with specific issues have their needs met. This includes us working with youth services, school-based counsellors, police liaison, behaviour support services and other fantastic external providers. LEARNING The education, care, support and guidance of the pupils is firmly based around our Brigidine Learner Profile which has been adapted and developed to cross reference with the Curriculum for Wales Four Purposes. We aim to develop young people who are: Ambitious, capable learners, ready to learn throughout their lives Enterprising creative contributors, ready to play a full part in life and work. Ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world. Healthy, confident individuals, ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society. Curriculum for Wales 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. Clubs and activities take place at lunch time and after school. Here is an example of a timetable for a Middle School student. Years 3 - 6 Time Activity 8:50 Start of School Day 9:00 - 9:30 Reading and Spelling Activities 9:30 - 10:30 Lesson 1 10:30 - 10:45 Break 10:45 - 12:00 Lesson 2 12:00 - 12:45 Lunch 12:45 - 1:55 Lesson 3 1:55 - 2:05 Break 2:05 - 3:00 Lesson 4 3:00 End of Day Years 7 - 11 Time Activity 8:50 Start of School Day 8:50 - 9:15 Registration 9:15 - 10:15 Lesson 1 10:20 - 11:20 Lesson 2 10:20 - 11:35 Break 11:35 - 12:35 Lesson 3 12:35 - 1:15 Lunch 1:15 - 2:15 Lesson 4 2:15 - 3:20 Lesson 5 3:20 End of Day Equipment and Belongings: We remind pupils that they are responsible for their own belongings. Your child should bring their own personal equipment to use during the day. An example pencil case for a typical child would include: Small regular pencil case HB pencils Blue handwriting pen Small ruler Eraser Dry wipe whiteboard pen Selection of colouring pencils Small pencil sharpener with shavings catcher (no larger winding sharpeners please) Glue stick Highlighter pen Please ensure all items can fit inside a small pencil case. This ensures they cannot be lost while at school or when transporting to and from school. Pupils in Year 3 - 6 also take part in swimming lessons and will be asked to provide a single piece swimming costume/trunks and towel. To play, press and hold the enter key. To stop, release the enter key. ALL THE EXTRAS Collective worship is integral to our daily life. We have a dedicated Chaplaincy team. All the children can visit our beautiful chapel, a safe place to sit, reflect and pray. The team, led by Mrs. Bollard are always on hand to provide a listening ear. As a school we have collective worship gatherings throughout the week where we come together to celebrate the teachings of Christianity and the Roman Catholic Church. Throughout the year alongside the daily curriculum there are many additional themed days. For example, mental health and well-being days; antibullying sessions; health and fitness and sports days and STEM science projects, all contributing to developing your children’s experiences, knowledge and skills. Our aim is to develop pupils into independent, resilient, kind and caring individuals, ready to learn and prepared for life in our ever-changing world and community. As Head of Middle School, I am responsible for the pastoral care of your children. My role is to promote the safety, success, development and happiness of all learners 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. Georgina Newnham, BA (Hons), QTS, NPQH Head of Middle School
