What is a Learning Community?
The SBALC is one of 29 Area Learning Communities across Northern Ireland. The community is made up of 11 Post Primary schools, 2 of which are special schools and Belfast Metropolitan College.
Whilst the community recognises the autonomy and ethos of the individual schools, the member schools and BMC work in partnership to implement a curriculum that will meet the needs of pupils. The community aims to provide 14-16 and post 16 students with access to a wider choice of academic, applied and vocational courses.
Collaboration within the SBALC provides students with access to a curriculum that will meet their needs while at the same time contributing to the needs of the Northern Ireland economy.
