    The Controlled Schools’ Support Council (CSSC) is the sectoral support body for controlled schools in Northern Ireland. CSSC works on behalf of controlled schools and the wider controlled education sector to enhance the quality of education provision.

    The controlled education sector is the largest, most diverse education sector in Northern Ireland comprising 49% of all schools across all phases: nursery, special, primary, secondary, grammar, integrated and Irish medium schools. Controlled schools are managed by the Education Authority.

    Controlled schools are #OpenToAll, welcoming children and young people of all faiths and none, richly diverse and inclusive, reflective of and embedded in the communities they serve.

    CSSC became operational on 1st September 2016 as a result of The Education Act (Northern Ireland) 2014.

    CSSC is grant funded by Department of Education.
