Schools compete for shared campus funding

Government policy
A host of Northern Ireland secondary schools are competing for funding to help them establish shared education campuses.

Three of the six projects to respond to the second call in the Shared Education Campuses Programme see post-primary schools from different communities working together.

The idea of the programme is to provide schools with the opportunity to build on existing sharing arrangements.

They can also access funding to help improve or provide shared facilities.

The plan is to open 10 such campuses at different locations across Northern Ireland.

So far, an application for a shared “stem” and 6th form facilities for St Mary’s High School, Limavady and Limavady High School has been approved. There will also be a shared educational campus involving Ballycastle High School and the neighbouring Cross and Passion College.
