Welcome

Welcome to Strabane Academy!

It is with great pride that I welcome you to our school website. I am truly honoured to serve as the new Principal of Strabane Academy.

I hope that as you explore these pages, you gain a clear sense of our commitment to the holistic development of every student in our care.

At Strabane Academy we offer a broad and balanced curriculum designed to nurture the unique strengths and talents of each individual pupil. Beyond the classroom, our students benefit from the wide range of enriching opportunities - from sports and music to educational visits, Scripture Union, and the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme, to name just a few.

Photos from Strabane Academy's post House Assembly Week – House Abercorn 💙
Today House Prefects delivered an engaging and thoughtful presentation on the story behind the house name, honouring Sasha Abercorn, and highlighting what the house stands for within our school community.
The assembly also explored the core House Abercorn values:
• Social Responsibility
• Commitment
• Initiative
• Compassion
A huge well done to our prefects for leading such a confident and inspiring assembly and for reminding us all what it means to represent House Abercorn with pride.

Last week some of our Year 11 English Literature students had the opportunity to see 'To Kill A Mockingbird' in the Grand Opera House, Belfast. The novel was brought to life through this adaptation for stage. A wonderful way to learn for their upcoming module in May. 📚🖊📝

Photos from Strabane Academy's post 🌟 House Week Assemblies – House Maunder
Today it was the turn of House Maunder, named after the Northern Irish astronomer and mathematician Annie Scott Dill Maunder.
Our Prefects delivered an excellent and informative assembly, exploring the core values of House Maunder — Respect, Compassion and Creativity. Through their presentations they highlighted how these values can be lived out in school life every day, encouraging everyone to support one another and think creatively in all they do. 💚
Well done to the Prefect team for a thoughtful and engaging assembly! 👏

Photos from Strabane Academy's post 📚 World Book Day – Wider Reading Recommendations
For World Book Day, teachers from across the school shared book recommendations linked to their subjects.
These are great examples of wider reading – books that help students deepen their understanding, explore topics in more detail and develop their knowledge beyond the classroom.
Take a look through the photos to see the titles each department recommends. You might find something new to add to your reading list! 📖✨
