List of integrated schools in Northern Ireland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Integrated schools are part of integrated education within Northern Ireland, aimed at bringing children together from both sides of the main religious communities through education.

Integrated schools can be Controlled Integrated or Grant Maintained Integrated. Schools can go through a process known as "transformation" to become an integrated school when enough parents seek a parental ballot to transform.[1] Schools must meet a minimum criterion before being granted integrated status.

If schools are unable to transform, parents can create a steering group to pursue[clarification needed] a grant-maintained integrated school in their area.[2]

Typically, schools that "transform" will be considered Controlled Integrated, while new integrated schools will be Grant Maintained Integrated.
