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 🔥 Day 2 of the new term for Year 13 and our Sixth Form Enrichment Programme is already off to a fantastic start! 🔥
13LJK headed to Strabane Fire Station, where they were hosted by Firefighter Steve. Pupils enjoyed getting involved in some practical activities while also benefiting from valuable advice and insights from the session. 🚒👨‍🚒
Meanwhile, 13BM enjoyed their first session with Ronan from Include Youth, which was received extremely positively by our pupils who are looking forward to the next one already. 👏
A brilliant start to another exciting year of enrichment opportunities for our Sixth Form students! 💙

What a first day back at school for our prize-winning poet and Year 9 pupil, Luka! ✨
Miss Elliott was delighted to present Luka with his published poem, 'A Velvet Rose', which won the Seamus Heaney Achievement for Poetry Award – Recommendation for an Individual Post-Primary Pupil in Northern Ireland.
Luka, we are so proud to journey with you and to see your creativity flourish.
Keep writing, keep creating, and keep inspiring! 🌹

Photos from Strabane Academy's post A huge thank you to all of our Year 11 and Year 13 pupils and parents who attended our induction sessions as our pupils begin the next exciting stages of their educational journeys! 👏📚
The transition into Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5 brings new opportunities, challenges and expectations. Success doesn’t happen by accident, it is built through good habits, hard work, organisation and consistency. 💪
By working together as pupils, parents and school, we can provide the support, encouragement and challenge needed to help every young person fulfil their potential.
Here’s to building positive habits, setting high expectations and making the most of every opportunity throughout the year ahead! 🚀

A brilliant start to their leadership journey, and we can’t wait to see the positive impact they will have across Strabane Academy this year! 💙

It was lovely to see so many smiles from both pupils and proud parents, creating a warm and positive atmosphere from the very start. 😊
Our pastoral team was on hand to welcome everyone, help settle those first-day nerves, and ensure every pupil got off to the best possible start. We are delighted to have them with us and are excited to support them throughout what promises to be a fantastic year ahead.
