TACOT:IE - Formal Integrated Schools

Formal Integrated Schools

20. In order to achieve formal integrated status, a school should be attended by "reasonable numbers of both Protestant and Roman Catholic pupils" which is presently interpreted as a minimum of 30% of the relevant minority community for new schools from the date of opening and after a reasonable growth period for transformed schools. While the integrated ethos and objectives of the integrated sector are similar in many ways to other school sectors, integrated schools have an overt aim of providing pupils with effective education that gives equal recognition to and promotes expression of the two major traditions. Alongside this, runs the requirement to maintain religious balance on the board, staff and pupil body, within a planned integrated enrolment.
