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

Our Kindness Board was completed today by members of the ABA team, and it looks fantastic! It’s such an eye-catching feature as you enter our school and really sets a positive tone for the day ahead.
Pupils have been flat out writing “shine cards” to both peers and staff as part of Operation Kindness, recognising the small acts that make a big difference. It’s been brilliant to see so much positivity and appreciation being shared across our school community. 💛

Photos from Strabane Academy's post Our Year 11 Business Studies pupils had a fantastic visit to the Tayto factory in Tandragee today! It was brilliant to see production in action and bring their classroom learning to life.
There were plenty of crisps (and even some popcorn!) sampled along the way, purely for educational purposes, of course. 👀
We’re not saying the highlight was the hairnets… but let’s just say there are some very stylish new looks going around!
A huge well done to our pupils, who were a credit to the school. Staff at the factory commented on how polite and mannerly they were throughout. 👏

Photos from Strabane Academy's post We are incredibly proud of Nyla, Dylan, Faith, Matthew, Reuben, Christopher, Emma and Leo, who represented Strabane Academy at the EA Strabane/Omagh Concert in the Strule Arts Theatre, Omagh last night.
