List of integrated schools in Northern Ireland

Integrated schools are part of integrated education within Northern Ireland, with an aim to bring children together from both sides of the main religious communities through education.

Integrated schools can be controlled integrated or grant maintained integrated. Schools are able to 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 criteria before being granted integrated status.

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

Usually, schools that "transform" will be considered controlled integrated, and new integrated schools will be grant maintained.
