'''Portadown Integrated Primary''' School (PIPS) was opened in [[Portadown]] (NI) in 1990 in Chambers Park - Portadown RFC - in some portacabins in the car-park. It had a very small number of pupils at first - i think around 20-30, and lunch was actually held in the rugby changing rooms!!. The head teacher was Mrs Maghee.

After growing quite rapidly, it moved to a new semi-perminant building around 1992 (?) in kernan - near the hospital. There are currently ~223 pupils enrolled.

It was opened by by The North Armagh Group for Integrated Education (NAGIE), and supported by The Northern Ireland Council for Integrated Education - [http://www.nicie.org/ NICIE]
According to [http://www.cain.ulster.ac.uk/csc/reports/fraser99.htm 'In the Frame' ] it was a grant maintained integrated primary school, which means it comes under the direct authority of the Department of Education for Northern freland (DENI), though for the first few years it was not directly funded by any education authority.
