The Christian Brothers’ Primary School, Armagh, is inspired by the vision of Blessed Edmund Rice and is committed to providing a disciplined atmosphere in order to develop the harmonious growth of the whole person.

Fundamental to the ethos of our school is the recognition of each pupil as an individual with his/her own special abilities, gifts, needs, personality and cultural background.

Our staff is committed to develop the pupil’s

self-awareness, independence, self-confidence and a self valuing that enables each to take up his/her own life and to make the right choices.

To this end our concern centres on the integral development of each child so that all may be enabled to achieve their full potential.

We seek to foster the growth of each according to his/her present needs, and to educate not only the mind but also the body, the emotions, the character and spiritual life of each child.

This will provide a framework for the widening of their horizons. It will help them understand the world in which they live and the interdependence of individuals, groups and nations; appreciate human achievement and aspirations; respect religious and moral values, and instill in them an acceptance of, and tolerance towards, other religions and ways of life.
