In 1841 Cardinal Cullen invited the Congregation of Christian Brothers to start a school for boys in Armagh. The first Christian Brothers Primary School was situated in Irish Street Armagh in 1851 with a school in Greenpark (a 7 acre site on eastern outskirts of Armagh) opening in 1854.
In the mid 1990s the primary took over the former grammar school buildings after it amalgamated with St. Patrick's college renaming it the Br. Rice block. An Irish language primary (An Bunscoil) was also opened around this time.
