We are officially going Integrated!

Wed 24 Apr 2024 Mr Campbell

On Thursday 18th April 2024 we received written confirmation from the Department of Education that the Education Minister has approved our development proposal to transform to an Integrated school from 1st September 2024.

We are delighted at this news and thank the Education Minister for his decision. The Minister has ensured we can now plan for the beginning of the 2024/25 academic year with clarity and optimism, and we are grateful for his carefully considered approval.

We would like to thank everyone who has supported our Transformation, especially our parents who voted overwhelmingly to formally begin this process in June 2022, The NI Council for Integrated Education (NICIE), The Integrated Education Fund (IEF) and The Education Authority’s Sectoral Support Team.

Lurgan Model opened 161 years ago as an expressly non-denominational school for all children, regardless of religion. Our Transformation to Controlled Integrated status reaffirms and strengthens our inclusive ethos as a school where all communities, cultures and backgrounds are welcomed and celebrated.

Our little people who continue to cross our threshold every day will remain at the heart of all that we do. No matter the background they come from they will be cherished, valued and respected for who they are, in an inclusive environment that nurtures empathy and understanding for everyone, in the hope of a better tomorrow.
