WELCOME
It is a great privilege to be Headteacher of St Brigid’s School, and I am delighted to welcome you to our website. St. Brigid's is more than just a school; we are a community which strives for the best for every one of our members. We are very proud of our 3-19 school, which has a strong Catholic ethos and tradition, and high standards.
St Brigid’s School is beautifully situated on the A543 on the outskirts of Denbigh, a medieval walled town, set in the grounds of an early-Victorian house, surrounded by parkland. We provide a secure, family-oriented environment, and deliver a rich and diverse curriculum. We are well-supported by our governors and have an active School Association. We live in changing times and this means providing a well-rounded education that prepares young people for life; we seek to build on our past whilst looking to the future.
We follow in our rich tradition as a former Brigidine Convent, and we maintain strong links with the Brigidine Sisters to this day. We have a strong legacy in developing our students in Drama and the Arts, as well as a rich academic tradition; our examination results and university outcomes speak for themselves.
We strive to provide high-quality education for all of our pupils, enhanced by the caring and positive ethos of our school. We pride ourselves on Christian family values and we recognise the development of the whole person. We seek 'to inspire and be inspired' through our Brigidine Learner Profile; entirely unique to our school. I hope that you find the information on our website useful, and I look forward to welcoming you to our school in the near future.

OUR HISTORY
St Brigid's School is a successful school steeped in history. Located at the foot of the beautiful Clwydian Range, a natural wonder of North Wales. Our school has a captivating history that spans several decades, and we couldn't be prouder to be a part of this incredible community. Join us on an fascinating journey through the rich history of our school and it's Catholic foundations.
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.
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.
In 1996 the school became Grant Maintained; the first maintained boarding school in Wales. In 1999, the school became Voluntary-Aided, supported by Denbighshire local authority, which it remains to this day.
