Background
editIntegrated Education is a Northern Ireland phenomenon, where traditionally schools were sectarian,[4] either run as Catholic schools or Protestant schools. On as parental request, a school could apply to 'transition' to become Grant Maintained offering 30% of the school places to students from the minority community. Lagan College was the first integrated school to open in 1981. Malone College opened in 1998.[5]
Site
editThe school is made up of multiple single-storied buildings on one campus. The site includes a new and modernised Sports Hall and Gym along with a 3G pitch which is shared with the nearby primary school, Cranmore Integrated Primary School which is lies on the same premises.[6]
School meals hygiene
editMalone College was rated a one from the Food Standards Agency on their previous inspection, based on their rating scale of zero being the worst possible hygiene and five being the best possible hygiene, on 2 February 2018.[7][8] It has been cited in their report that the school required major improvement in management of food safety and some improvements required in facility cleanliness.[7]
The school has since been reinspected in January 2019 and has been rated a five by the FSA, indicating very good standards on hygienic food handling, cleanliness and management of food safety.[9]
