Clounagh Junior High School is a community based comprehensive school on the Brownstown Road, Portadown, Northern Ireland.
It accepts male and female pupils following primary education. Generally, children attend for three years (from ages 11-14); however those with special educational needs stay for an extra two years. After the children leave they generally transfer to either Portadown College or Craigavon Senior High School.
It follows Craigavon two-tier system, commonly called the Dickson Plan, which was established 28 years ago because many people recognised that making crucial decisions about a child's future at 10 was inappropriate.
The current school principal is Trevor Canning, formerly Senior Vice-Principal. In 2005 he succeeded Norman Dickson following the retirement of the latter. The school is responsible for a lot of charity work and hosts many activities involving young students such as bun sales reading marathons.
