About Downpatrick Primary School

The school was opened in 1975 and is situated at the upper end of Mount Crescent in the historic quarter of Downpatrick, near the Cathedral, Down Museum and St Patrick’s Heritage Centre overlooking the Quoile River and the Dromara Hills.
 
The majority of the children come from Downpatrick, but the school also serves outlying districts and traditionally accepts children from a wide area and from all backgrounds.  The Board of Governors is committed to cater for areas where there is no controlled school provision such as Ardglass and Strangford.
The accommodation comprises 11 classrooms, three small group rooms, a library and ICT suite, multi-purpose hall, meals kitchen and ancillary block.  There grounds are spacious with extensive grass and tarmac areas.
Learning Support Centre
The school incorporates a Learning Support Centre for Pupils with Moderate Learning Difficulties, ADD/ADHD, Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Asperger Syndrome or Speech & Language Difficulties. The school prides itself on our inclusive ethos and the LSC children integrate with the main school for a range of educational activities.
