'''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 was one of the first primary schools in the Portadown area that openly educated children from [[Roman Catholic]] and [[Protestant]] communities together - see [[Intergrated Education]]. It had a very small number of pupils at first - 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.
