Today, Wednesday 22nd October 2025, we were delighted to be able to donate 219.2kg of food and toiletries to the Craigavon Area Food Bank.
Jim Freeburn, the centre manager came to collect it was very impressed with our efforts. I am also delighted to inform you that this is nearly 40kg more than last year - and this afternoon, we have even more brought in! Thank you to our whole school community for supporting this initiative, as we look out for others!
Pictured are representatives from our 2 groups who oversaw the collection - our school Council and our Rights Respecting School council.

Today, Thursday 2nd October 2025, marks the 90th anniversary, to the day, of Sir Robert Hart Memorial Primary School opening its doors to pupils in Portadown.  As a school, we are extremely proud of the impact which the Hart has had on so many throughout its 90 years, and the education which has been afforded to so many in our locality. 

Historically, the Hart was an amalgamation of several local schools: Edgarstown No. 1 Academy (a Church of Ireland school in Montague Street), Edgarstown 2 (a Methodist school), Academy school (a Presbyterian School in Church Street), and the senior pupils of Park Road School (a Church of Ireland school). Forwarding on 90 years, the school continues to go from strength to strength with an enrolment of 450 pupils strong! 

As a staff, it is our vision that the Hart continues to live out the characteristics attributed to the man who we are named after: a man who was known as ambitious, enthusiastic and exceptionally talented.  We are very proud of our school, our pupils are very proud, and we know that so many of you in our community are very proud!

Happy birthday, Sir Robert Hart Memorial!  Here’s to the next 90 years!
