As Principal of Blackwater Integrated College I am delighted to welcome you to our College website. This website has been created to provide information for parents, students and other interested parties and to reflect on all aspects of College life.

Our College opened in September 2008. Blackwater Integrated College was formed from two existing schools, Down Academy Controlled Integrated High School and Rowallane Integrated College. The College has increased the number of available integrated places in the mid-Down area.

Our dedicated staff will continue to work in partnership with parents and Governors to ensure that the ethos and principles of Integrated Education characterise our classroom environments and college community.

Our college philosophy provides a balanced environment so that children from different religious, cultural and social backgrounds can learn together whilst valuing their own tradition and cultural beliefs. In this open community we aim to share knowledge, respect difference and teach in a child-centred way that is structured to meet each child’s needs and aspirations.

Academic achievement is a principal target but it is also essential that each child can develop his or her self-esteem, self-respect and respect for others. The educational, emotional and social development of our children will be at the heart of the College.
