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.

This video clip reflects on our Kindness Week 2026 and reminds us of the powerful impact that kindness can have across our community. While we have taken time this week to celebrate kindness, it is important to remember that kindness should be continual, not just for one week, but in our words and actions every day.
A huge thank you to Dr. Gallagher, our student teacher who supports the work of our ABA team on a weekly basis, for creating this video clip. Your time, creativity, and dedication are greatly appreciated and have helped bring this important message to life.

Yesterday, our Book Club had the honour of taking part in a virtual discussion with Irish-Thai author Emma Shevah. Her novel ‘My Name is Jodie Jones’ has been shortlisted for the KPMG Children’s Books Ireland Awards.
Our readers have been working their way through the shortlisted titles before the announcement of the winner in May. Yesterday’s session with Emma provided a fascinating insight into the world of publishing, as well as valuable advice on how our young writers can develop and refine their craft.

Photos from Strabane Academy's post Year 12 King’s Trust Interview Skills Day
Our Year 12 pupils took part in a highly successful King’s Trust Interview Skills Day, gaining valuable experience and confidence in a formal interview setting. We would like to extend sincere thanks to Mrs Crosbie and Mrs Dunn for their hard work and dedication in organising the event.
We are extremely grateful to Gail Quigley (ICU Altnagelvin), Susan Wilson (Strabane Academy) and Lesley Graham and Marty McAleer (NFU Mutual) for generously volunteering their time to interview our pupils and share their expertise and all other staff involved!
The pupils conducted themselves with maturity and professionalism and were a credit to both themselves and the school. A fantastic day of learning and preparation for the future.
