NDALC
Learning Communities in Northern Ireland
Sullivan Upper School is a member of the North Down and Ards Area Learning Community (NDALC).
NDALC is one of 29 learning communities across Northern Ireland.
NDALC is made up of 16 post-primary schools, 3 of which are special schools, and SERC (the South Eastern Regional College).
The aim of the learning community is to implement a curriculum that will meet the needs of all pupils. The community aims to give students at Key Stage 4 and post-16 access to a wide choice of courses (academic, applied and vocational).
Pupils will have the opportunity to select from a wide menu of courses that will, it is hoped, meet their needs and aspirations. Their choices will increasingly be informed not only by their own skills and abilities but also buy up-to-date information about the labour market and by what can be accommodated within each school or college.
Sullivan Upper School currently has collaborative arrangements with Priory Integrated College, Holywood.
