Background

Integrated Education is a Northern Ireland phenomenon, where traditionally schools were sectarian, [4] either run as Catholic schools or Protestant schools. On as parental request, a school could apply to 'transition' to become Grant Maintained offering 30% of the school places to students from the minority community. Lagan College was the first integrated school to open in 1981. Malone College opened in 1998. [5]

As of 2023, students at Malone College were 39% Protestant, 30% Roman Catholic and 31% other.

Site

The school is made up of multiple single-storied buildings on one campus. The site includes a new and modernised Sports Hall and Gym along with a 3G pitch which is shared with the nearby primary school, Cranmore Integrated Primary School which is lies on the same premises. [6]

School meals hygiene

Malone College was rated a one from the Food Standards Agency on their previous inspection, based on their rating scale of zero being the worst possible hygiene and five being the best possible hygiene, on 2 February 2018. [7] [8] It has been cited in their report that the school required major improvement in management of food safety and some improvements required in facility cleanliness. [7]

The school has since been reinspected in January 2019 and has been rated a five by the FSA, indicating very good standards on hygienic food handling, cleanliness and management of food safety. [9]
