Bush Primary School > Our School

Bush Primary School is located in a rural situation approximately 2 miles from Dungannon. The school was opened in 1979 as a result of the closure of two smaller schools, namely Gortshalgan and Ballynakelly Primary Schools.

Since opening the school’s catchment area has increased to include Coalisland, Dungannon and Moy. Private housing developments on the main Bush – Dungannon road have boosted enrolment, which presently stands at 175. Class sizes range from 17 – 29 pupils.

Ethos

The welcoming ethos which exists at Bush Primary School has been achieved through good relationships between staff, pupils, parents and the local community. We continually strive to maintain this friendly and caring reputation.

Mission Statement

At Bush Primary School we endeavour to create a safe and secure environment, where every child achieves their full potential.
