Oakgrove Integrated College is an integrated secondary school based in Derry, Northern Ireland.
Integrated Education is a Northern Ireland phenomenon, where traditionally schools were sectarian, [1] 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. [2]
The college, which was formed with the hope of integrating young people from both sides of Northern Ireland's religious divide, opened in September 1991. [3] Marie Cowan was the principal when it opened [4] in the old Housing Executive offices at Limavady Road. [5] It then moved to an old red brick building at the Gransha Hospital in September 1992. [5] A new purpose-built facility, built at a cost of £9.7 million, [6] was completed in 2004. [7]
The education system in Northern Ireland differs from elsewhere in the United Kingdom, but is similar to the Republic of Ireland in sharing in the development of the national school system and serving a similar society with a relatively rural population. A child's age on 1 July determines the point of entry into the relevant stage of education in the region, whereas the relevant date in England and Wales is 1 September.
Integrated education in Northern Ireland refers to the bringing together of children, parents and teachers from both Roman Catholic and Protestant traditions in childhood education: the aim being to provide a balanced education, while allowing the opportunity to understand and respect all cultural and religious backgrounds.
