Culmore Primary School will officially become an integrated school at the start of next year.

Parents at the historic school voted in favour of becoming an integrated primary school late last year.

A development proposal has now been submitted to the Education Authority (EA) by the Board of Governors of Culmore Primary School to the effect that it will convert to transform to Controlled Integrated Status with effect from September 1, 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter.
