Serving the community for almost 200 years

Carrickmannon Primary School is a controlled Primary school, situated 1.5 miles outside the village of Ballygowan. Our current enrolment (2021/22) is 87 children. The school, opened in 1825, is a listed building of historical interest, which has been renovated and extended, providing excellent modern classroom facilities and a large resource area. We make full use of the facilities we have outdoors; grass, bark and tarmac play areas, as well as a garden area to enhance the pupils’ learning experience.

We aspire to provide all children with the opportunity to become successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors within a rapidly changing world.
