CSSC congratulates controlled school pupils on results day

Congratulations to all pupils in controlled schools on their results. Today is a moment to celebrate, but it is also the start of an exciting new chapter. Whether pupils are progressing into further or higher education, an apprenticeship or employment, CSSC encourages them to approach this next step with the same determination that has brought them here.

CSSC would also like to acknowledge and thank all staff in controlled schools for their dedication and commitment to supporting pupils. 

Their dedication to inclusive, high-quality education has helped pupils achieve and has prepared them with the confidence and skills to pursue whatever path they choose.

The controlled education sector is Northern Ireland's largest, most diverse education sector, comprising 49% of all schools across all phases: nursery, special, primary, secondary, grammar, integrated and Irish-medium schools.
