Portadown Integrated Nursery and Primary is a Rights Respecting School
At Portadown Integrated Nursery and Primary School children learn about rights through the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). We believe that by understanding their own rights children learn to appreciate and uphold the rights of others. Children are taught to understand that with rights come responsibilities.
Our playground and Classroom Charters are used to guide the schools vision and helps us to think about the Rights and Responsibilities we all have in our community.
Children and adults work together to recognise and act upon the rights of the child with respect to the school, the local community and the wider world.
Pupil Voice
At Portadown Integrated Nursery and Primary School we encourage the children to actively participate in their own learning and to be a part of the school decision making process. School Council representatives from each class meet together to discuss, negotiate and make decisions that will affect the whole school.

Vision Statement
A progressive and forward thinking school, Portadown Integrated Nursery and Primary responds positively to the rapidly changing world in which we live. We strive to ensure that the children develop respect for themselves, each other, their families, the community and the environment.
Integration is at the centre of our work. By welcoming and respecting diversity we learn together for life and the good of society. We celebrate all positive ways of acting, being and believing.
By nurturing each individual in an enjoyable secure environment, we aim to develop honest and respectful people with high self-esteem and the motivation and attitudes to life to the full.
We encourage an enthusiasm of learning through an atmosphere that supports and challenges each individual to make their best effort and to become creative, imaginative and skilful life long learners.
