Why do I need to Reconfirm my support?

Transformation is the legal process which enables a school to become an integrated school. One way in which a school can start the process to become integrated is in response to parental demand, through a petition signed by parents representing 20% of the pupils in the school. Transformation legislation states that the signatures in support of Transformation must be from the current academic year. This is why we ask you to reconfirm your support each year.

The Integrate My School website is the method used by the IEF to gather these signatures. The process is really simple and can be completed in less time that it takes to make a cup of tea!
