Lagan College is Northern Ireland’s first planned integrated, all ability, coeducational 11-18 school.
The school was founded in 1981 by a small group of pioneering parents, known as the All Children Together Movement, who wished to educate children from all religious traditions together in a different way, set against a backdrop of political and social unrest.
Globally renowned for its peace work, Lagan College is also a UK Ambassador School, committed to working with others to raise the profile of climate change and carbon reduction. The school has won five prestigious Eco Awards for its work educating others to care for the planet.
In 2022, the College will be celebrating its 40th anniversary. To commemorate this milestone, BBGI has donated and will work with Lagan College to plant 70 native tree species on the school site during the spring planting season and will gift a variety of tree saplings to each one of the other 69 integrated projects which have come into existence since 1981. In addition, an investment by BBGI is helping the College to expand its Chaplaincy Centre which lies at the heart of the school, which will help Lagan in its aim to become Northern Ireland’s first ever Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health.
