Evangelical church member decline affects school numbers
According to the church's core doctrine, believers regard the Old and New Testament "as being the inspired and infallible word of God".
According to an ETI inspection, which has just been published, there are 80 children in the school at Knockloughrim - up from 73 in 2021/22.But overall pupil numbers in the school in Newry have fallen to 21, down from 34 in 2020/21 and almost half of what they were four years ago. The two schools do not have to follow the Northern Ireland curriculum and instead take subjects similar to other OSG schools in the UK.
"The lessons reflect well the school ethos that places self-directed learning and independence at the core of its work."Due to online learning, pupils in the Northern Ireland schools can take part in classes with other OSG schools in the UK.
