Welcome

Welcome to St. Mary's Primary School Website.

I am delighted to introduce you to our new informative website and to invite you to discover more about life in St. Mary's Primary School.

St Mary's is situated in the townland of Derrytrasna, on the southern shore of Lough Neagh.

In our school we are committed to providing an excellent all round education for every child entrusted to our care. We aim to provide a caring school environment where each individual child is encouraged to respect themselves, others in the school community and the wider community.

I hope you enjoy visiting the different pages of our website and seeing the opportunities available to our children.

Primary 5, 6 and 7 were delighted to welcome Margaret from the Livestock and Meat Commission (LMC). She spoke to the children about the benefits of red meat, how it’s responsibly farmed in Northern Ireland, and the importance of choosing local produce. The children also learned to look for the LMC logo when shopping. Margaret made a delicious Chilli beef pasta which the children throughly enjoyed! 😍🤩😋

From the first whistle of the day to the final moments of the final, every player gave it their all and played brilliantly throughout. 👏🔥 We couldn’t be prouder of the heart, determination, and skill on display. A well-deserved win for a team full of talent and grit. 💚💛 Let’s hear it for the champions! 🥳🏐🏅
PlayBoard visited St Mary’s Primary School today, bringing joy and energy to the playground with a range of fun and engaging activities. The children had an amazing time exploring new ways to play, building confidence, creativity, and important social skills. Today’s visit highlighted just how valuable play is—even for older children—as it supports learning, resilience, and teamwork. We’re excited that this is just the beginning, with even more exciting play experiences planned for the weeks ahead!
🌿 **Thank You!** We are deeply grateful to Portadown Wellness Centre for rejuvenating our school grounds! The children loved getting involved, planting shrubs, and transforming the space. A special thanks to Alan McDowell for his dedication and hard work. Here’s to more green-fingered fun! 💚🌸
