ETHOS

At Erne Integrated College our ethos is that everyone is valued equally. We seek to provide a student centred environment in which everyone has the opportunity to fulfil their potential equally, regardless of religious group, academic ability, gender, sexual orientation, race or socio-economic background. We celebrate success at all levels and value improvement as much as overall achievement. We strive to demonstrate our core belief of mutual respect at all times in our community where individuals have a strong sense of self-worth and high personal expectations.

These values are supported by our strong foundation based on our Christian ethos and the aims of Integrated Education which promote equality, respect for those of all religious traditions and none, inclusion and respect for cultural diversity, parental involvement and the development of social responsibility in our students.
