Oakgrove Integrated College is an integrated secondary school based in Derry, Northern Ireland.

History

The college, which was formed with the hope of integrating young people from both sides of Northern Ireland's religious divide, opened in September 1991.[1] Marie Cowan was the principal when it opened[2] in the old Housing Executive offices at Limavady Road.[3] It then moved to an old red brick building at the Gransha Hospital in September 1992.[3] A new purpose-built facility, built at a cost of £9.7 million,[4] was completed in 2004.[5]
