It accepts male and female pupils following primary education. Children attend for three years and generally transfer to either Portadown College or Craigavon Senior High School. The Principal is Mrs J Murphy. The school plays rugby, football, and hockey along with others. It was founded in 1958.

It follows Craigavon two-tier system, commonly called the Dickson Plan. In the Dickson plan, pupils attend a Junior High for three years before transferring to a different school for further education.

Though non-denominational, the school has a Protestant ethos, with local Protestant clergy going to the school every Friday for assembly and to take religious classes.
