Congratulations to the school communities of Ballymena Nursery School, Downshire Nursery School and Magherafelt Nursery school who are all celebrating after hearing the news that the Education Minister has approved each of their Development Proposals to transform to become Integrated from September 2025.
Congratulations also to Omagh Integrated Primary School who have had their Pre-School provision expanded through the establishment of an additional Nursery session to provide 26 more places from September 2025.
We were disappointed with the decisions made by the Education Minister to not approve the establishment of Integrated Nursery Units at Bridge Integrated Primary School and Spires Integrated Primary School. We will continue to support schools in the development of more Integrated provision at all school phases, striving to ensure that there is an Integrated place for every parent, pupil or family that wants one.
