Ms Tina Merron:

The mix in the schools, so across working-class and middle-class backgrounds, would be the same at both second-level and post-primary schools. It is not comparable with grammar schools. I think it would be the same or very similar with the controlled and maintained secondary schools.

In terms of academic results, the integrated schools are comparable with the academic results of the secondary schools. They would not be as good as the academic results of grammar schools but then they do not select children on academic ability and accept all children should the child have special needs or be very academic. They accept all pupils as do all of the secondary schools. The results there are very similar to the secondary school results.
