Principal's Welcome

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Malone Integrated College. I am immensely proud to lead such a vibrant, welcoming and ambitious school community.

 At Malone, integrated education lies at the heart of who we are. Our young people do not simply learn alongside difference; they learn about and through difference. Pupils from a wide range of backgrounds, cultures, traditions, faiths and perspectives come together each day to learn from one another. In doing so, our diverse community models the respect, understanding and inclusion that we want to see in a progressive society.

 Our mission is “Learning for Life Together.” Our vision is to maximise the potential of every learner by providing a high-quality education in a supportive environment. Guided by our RAISE values of Respect, Ambition, Inclusion, Support and Excellence, we ensure that every child is known, every child is valued and every child is encouraged to succeed.

We know every pupil as an individual and understand that the right support can look different for each young person. Through strong relationships, high expectations and close partnership with families, we ensure every learner has the opportunity to flourish.

 Malone is an all-ability school. Our future-focused curriculum offers a rich combination of academic and vocational pathways, allowing pupils to develop their talents, pursue their interests and prepare confidently for the future. Our strong performance outcomes reflect the hard work of our pupils and staff, while our growing Sixth Form provision creates even more opportunities for young people to continue their education within the Malone community.

 We are proud that former pupils progress to an impressive range of destinations, including university, further education, higher-level apprenticeships, other apprenticeships and employment. Whatever path they choose, we want our young people to leave Malone with the qualifications, character and confidence to make a positive contribution to society.

 There is a special community spirit at Malone. It can be seen in the relationships among pupils, staff and families and in the many opportunities available beyond the classroom. I invite you to explore our website and discover what makes our college such an exciting place to learn, belong and grow.

We are proud to be a ‘School of Sanctuary’.
