Bush Primary School is located in a rural situation approximately 2 miles from Dungannon. The school was opened in 1979 as a result of the closure of two smaller schools, namely Gortshalgan and Ballynakelly Primary Schools. Since opening the school’s catchment area has increased to include Coalisland and Dungannon. Private housing developments on the main Bush – Dungannon road have boosted enrolment, which presently stands at 186. The school has six full time teachers and two part time teachers
