Welcome

In December 2006, the Minister for Education, Maria Eagle, granted conditional approval for Rowandale Integrated Primary School to open in the Moira area in September 2007. This new integrated primary school will serve the wider Moira area, drawing pupils from Moira and its surrounding areas for example, Aghagallon, Aghalee, Ballinderry, Dollingstown, Glenavy, Hillsborough, Maghaberry, Magheralin, Maze.

Rowandale Integrated Primary Education steering group consists of local parents and individuals working closely with the Northern Ireland Council for Integrated Education (NICIE) and funded by the Integrated Education Fund (IEF).

For more information about the steering group's work over the past three years, please see The Campaign.

About our school:

We are integrated - we will nurture every child in the values of their own background. Our aim is to enrich individual identity through the understanding of other beliefs.

We are child-centred - we base education around the child rather than around the teacher.

We are co-educational - we empower children to fulfil their potential irrespective of gender.

We are anti-bias - we encourage our children to have an unbiased approach to other people.

We are all-ability - we give each child the opportunity to achieve personal excellence.

We are democratic - we will consult with parents on all school policies and procedures - our Board of Governors of sixteen members will include six parents - all parents are encouraged to become involved in the Parents Council.

We are eco-friendly - we will involve and educate children about sustainability issues.

We are healthy - we will encourage and enable children to respect their health.

We are a whole school community - we will seek to create a close partnership involving children, parents, staff, governors and the wider community.
