The Integrated Education Fund (IEF), the Council for Integrated Education (NICIE) and the Association of Principal Teachers in Integrated Schools (APTIS) are delighted to launch ‘Faith and Belief in School, Guidance for RE, assembly and religious practice in Integrated primary schools’. This guidance is the result of a research project commissioned by IEF, NICIE and APTIS and completed by Dave Thompson in 2024, which engages with the challenges facing Integrated schools in relation to faith and belief practices in our changing cultural context. The project has been generously jointly funded by the IEF and NICIE, with thanks to the Northern Ireland Office and a private donor.
