Integrated Education is a Northern Ireland phenomenon, where traditionally schools were sectarian, [2] 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. [3]
North Coast Integrated College opened in 1996 as an integrated, co- educational,all-ability school available to all without fees or entrance examinations. It is a Grant Maintained Integrated (GMI) School: GMI status is a result of the 1989 Education Reform (NI) Order. [4]

Having accepted that, the report published in April 2013 castigated the school for the youngsters final results. This, and the 21 week delay in publishing the report demoralised the staff. The school made a statement to the Northern Ireland Assembly ETI inquiry questioning:
Less than 5% of year 8 pupils entered the college with the baseline Level 5 maths or Level 5 English, however 57% of year 11 youngsters in 2010, 61% in 2011, and 70% in 2012 achieved the baseline 5 GCSE passes at C and above. [5]
Education in Northern Ireland differs from systems used elsewhere in the United Kingdom, although it is relatively similar to Wales. A child's age on 1 July determines the point of entry into the relevant stage of education, unlike England and Wales where it is 1 September. Northern Ireland's results at GCSE and A-Level are consistently top in the UK. At A-Level and BTEC level 3, one third of students in Northern Ireland achieved A and distinction grades in 2007, which is a higher proportion than in England and Wales.
The integrated education movement in Northern Ireland is an attempt to bring together children, parents and teachers from both Roman Catholic and Protestant traditions: the aim being to provide a balanced education, while allowing the opportunity to understand and respect all cultural and religious backgrounds.
