Principal's
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.

What's Happening

Photos from Strabane Academy's post 🏆⚽ Congratulations to Ariana, Year 9, and incoming Year 8 pupil Maisy on winning the Foyle Cup U13 Girls Rosebowl with Maiden City!
Both girls showed tremendous composure in the final, confidently stepping up to score their penalties and help their team lift the trophy. What a fantastic achievement! 👏
It’s also wonderful to recognise Maisy’s brother, Ryan in Year 12, who officiated throughout the Foyle Cup week. Ryan refereed a number of U11 boys’ and U12 girls’ matches and was appointed to referee both the U12 Girls Cup Final and the U12 Girls Third-Place Play-Off – a fantastic achievement in itself.
Well done to Ariana, Maisy and Ryan on an outstanding week at the Foyle Cup. We are incredibly proud of you all! 💙⚽

A huge congratulations to Lorna Curran (Class of 2014) on an incredible achievement!
After graduating from Ulster University Belfast with a Bachelor of Arts in Textile Art, Design and Fashion, Lorna has gone on to build a fantastic career, working in both Germany and Vienna, and is now fluent in German. 🇦🇹
We’re especially proud to see that Lorna designed the brand new Vienna GAA jersey, with the Irish Embassy in Vienna recently recognising and thanking her for her outstanding work.
The jerseys look fantastic, and it’s wonderful to see one of our former pupils making such a creative impact on the international stage. Congratulations, Lorna, we can’t wait to see what you do next! 💙

Photos from Strabane Academy's post WHAT A START TO THE SUMMER!!!
We have loved having our new Year 8's in for our summer camp this week. With over 90 attending it was great to see all the pupils throw themselves into the activities.
Fun was had and friendships were formed.
Thanks to Strabane Rugby Club, Strabane Tennis Club and Letterkenny Cricket club for partnering with us.
We look forward to seeing you all again on Friday 28th August, looking smart in your beautiful new uniform.

🎉☀️ SCHOOL’S OUT FOR SUMMER! ☀️🎉
And just like that, another school year comes to a close.
What a year it has been! Filled with learning, achievement, laughter, challenges overcome, friendships strengthened, talents discovered, and countless opportunities for our young people to grow and succeed. We are incredibly proud of everything our students have accomplished and grateful to our dedicated staff, supportive parents, and wider school community who have helped make this year such a success.
As we close the chapter on the 2025–26 academic year, we would like to wish all members of our school community a fantastic summer break. Stay safe, relax, recharge, and enjoy, hopefully, with plenty of sunshine along the way! Whether your adventures take you near or far, make wonderful memories and enjoy every moment.
Our school calendar for the 2026–27 academic year is now available on our website, including Year 8, Year 11 and Year 13 induction days and times, as well as return-to-school dates September.
Our Principal, Mr Johnston, has also reflected on his first year in post. https://strabaneacademy.co.uk/Principal-s-Reflection-2025-26/
Thank you for being part of another memorable year at Strabane Academy.
Until then… over and out! 😎🌴☀️
