We're tipping our cowboy hats to the phenomenal success of our school production, "Yee Ha!"

The Wild West came alive on stage, thanks to the incredible talents of our students and dedicated staff. A big thank you must go to Year 7 teachers, Mrs Rennie and Mr Poole!

From sold out shows to standing ovations, "Yee Ha" lassoed the hearts of our wonderful audiences. It's a testament to the hard work and creativity of everyone involved.

Team Braniel 

At Braniel PS, we take pride in celebrating the accomplishments of our pupils, whether they occur within the school walls or extend beyond them. Today, we were delighted to celebrate the success of our Y6/7 girls who play for the all-conquering Bloomfield FC 2013 team. Two league trophies in the bag and hopefully another cup on the way! These girls exemplify the spirit of teamwork and are excellent ambassadors for Braniel PS!

Well done from all at Team Braniel.

The Y5/6 boys football team are through to the EDCO U10 Cup Final after a dramatic penalty shoot-out win against Holy Cross Boys PS at Waterworks.

Braniel had to dig deep and withstand lots of pressure from a strong Holy Cross side particularly dangerous from corners and long-throws.

The match finished 0-0 and the sides could not be separated. Our goalkeeper, Oliver, proved the hero in the shoot-out…making two penalty saves and stepping up to successfully convert a penalty himself!!

Braniel penalty goalscorers: Jaxson (Y5KB), Harlow (Y6PG), Robbie (Y5JJ) and Oliver (Y5JJ).

What a day to be associated with Braniel PS. The commitment and desire to win from all 12 boys was immense. A credit to our school and to their families.

We look forward to the final against Strandtown PS.

Mr Jennings

Girls' football is class! Good football played in a determined but sporting manner makes it a joy to be at these games.  Another fantastic performance ended in a draw today thanks largely to an inspired performance by the Gilnahirk 'keeper. All the girls played very well but special mention must go to Lily in Year 5 who made her debut - mini but mighty springs to mind! - Mr Poole

Well done everyone!

Team Braniel 

The Y5/6 football team made it five consecutive wins with an impressive 0-3 victory away to St Joseph’s PS at Campbell College.

Goalscorers: Harlow, Jaxson and Alfie.

Thank you to all of the parents that cheered the team on. Focus now shifts to next week’s EDCO Cup Semi-Final against Holy Cross PS.

We were delighted to send a team of Y6 and Y7 pupils to the Belfast Schools Cross Country Championships at Mullusk this week. Conditions under-foot were challenging with a few of our runners losing a shoe in the mud but they all represented the school with heart and pride. Hopefully, with a bit more experience at racing over a longer distance, we'll be back to fill a few of the podium places!

Well done Team Braniel! 

We are happy to announce that our dedicated staff recently completed a comprehensive first aid training program. This training equips our team with the knowledge and confidence to handle medical emergencies effectively.

Well done Team Braniel! 

P.S. How many dummies can you spot in the pictures? 

Our Year 7 pupils enjoyed a great day out of school as they walked through East Belfast to 'the Yard' to see where the Titanic was built.

The weather was kind as we walked down the Connswater Community Greenway to CS Lewis Square and onto the Titanic Museum.

The children enjoyed getting their photos taken beside the Nomadic, eating their lunch in the footprint of the Titanic and especially getting the bus home!

Hopefully they are all inspired to complete their Titanic projects!

We are delighted to announce that the pupils of Braniel Primary School have raised an incredible £948 for Comic Relief through their recent fundraising efforts on Red Nose Day. 

A huge thank you must go out to Mrs Livingstone, Mr Poole and our amazing school council for their dedication and hard work in organising a bun sale and a "Guess the Red Noses in a Jar" competition. 

Through the generosity of our school community, we have been able to make a significant contribution towards supporting worthy causes. This achievement is a testament to the spirit of kindness and teamwork that thrives within our school. Well done to all involved!

What a match today at Avoniel for our girls' football team! 

Having trailed 2 nil, then 4-2, then 5-4 - our brilliant girls, inspired no doubt by this week's  Assembly on perseverance, came back to win 5-6 in the final minutes.

Goals today from Brooke (2), Scarlett (2), Ellie (1) and Abbie (1) but credit goes to all of the girls who battled so hard and to Evie and Melissa who made some great saves too!

Thanks to Elmgrove for a great game, played in the right spirit throughout.

What a day to be alive!
