Controlled schools are open to all, welcoming children and young people of all faiths and none. They are richly diverse and inclusive, reflective of and embedded in their local communities.
The ethos of controlled schools emphasises the importance of providing high-quality education for all pupils within the local community, regardless of their religious background, ability or socioeconomic status. They strive to create welcoming and inclusive learning environments that nurture understanding, respect, and a sense of belonging. Controlled schools are managed by the Education Authority.
