Welcome

Welcome to Strabane Academy

It was Aristotle who said that, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act, but a habit.”

Within these pages we have tried to capture something of the spirit of school life and convey the sense of pride we feel in being part of this community. As you view our website, look out for the many opportunities that we provide which help students develop positive habits for life.

It may be how we extend learning beyond the classroom; through sports, Languages, Duke of Edinburgh, opportunities to travel abroad, practical life skills such as wood working and the culinary arts, work-based learning, leadership opportunities and the school council all of these are enriching on many levels.

Photos from Strabane Academy's post A Fond Farewell to Mr Hampton!
This morning, Strabane Academy gathered to celebrate the remarkable career of Mr Hampton at his farewell assembly. In a heartfelt speech, Mr Hampton reflected on his journey through education, sharing memories of the incredible people he has met and led along the way.
A special thank you to James, the youngest pupil in the school, who had the honour of presenting Mr Hampton with a gift on behalf of all the pupils. It was a lovely coincidence that today also marks James’s 12th birthday—what a memorable way to celebrate!
We also extend our gratitude to our outgoing Head Boy and Head Girl, Dylan and Alana, who spoke beautifully on behalf of the student body. Their words were a fitting tribute and a wonderful final address in their roles. Thank you also to Mrs Sayers for leading the assembly and to the Chairperson of the Board of Governors, Mr Atcheson, who addressed the assembly to thank Mr Hampton for his service as Principal of our school.
From all of us at Strabane Academy, we wish Mr Hampton a very happy and fulfilling retirement!

Photos from Strabane Academy's post Year 14 Leavers BBQ – A Superb Send-Off!
What a fantastic event on the school calendar! It was wonderful to see our Year 14s so relaxed and enjoying themselves after the intensity of exams.
Wishing all of our leavers a fun and well-deserved summer break!
A huge thank you to Mrs Gallagher for organising the event, to Mr Anderson and Mrs Dunn for expertly manning the BBQ, Mrs Irwin for the laughs from the Year Book and to Mr Wilders for providing great music throughout the afternoon.
Thanks also to our brilliant canteen staff for the fresh salads and delicious desserts.
A superb day all round – well done and best wishes, Year 14! 🎓🌞🍔

Photos from Strabane Academy's post Congratulations to all the Hard as Oak participants yesterday and a huge thank you to all the SA staff who volunteered to help with the event - doesn't happen without you. Brilliant fun despite the torrential rain. Pupils were a credit to the school and over a £1000 raised for Cancer Focus in the process. Already looking forward to next year. Thank again, Mr S Sargent.

📚👏 Huge congratulations to Calum in Year 10 for showing fantastic powers of persuasion! Calum wrote to the Irish Farmers Journal requesting reading materials on a topic of real interest to many of our young boys. Their efforts were rewarded—not only did they receive a wonderful selection of reading resources, but also some thoughtful goody bags too!
Well done, Calum – a brilliant example of initiative! 🌾📖🐄
If you have any reading material that you no longer require that would engage teenage boys, drop them in for Ms Malone.

Photos from Strabane Academy's post Amazing start to our S.A.V.E team fundraising efforts for our community A.E.D. Our pupils certainly know how to lead with heart and act with purpose in all that they do. Voluntary spirit was high with fellow year 9 & 10 pupils pitching in and helping out where needed. A total of £105 was raised today and we have lots more to look forward to on our restart a heart non uniform day this Thursday 26th June.
