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 Today, members of the S.A.V.E Team 2.0, alongside Mrs Dunn and Mrs Crosbie, were honoured to attend a 50th Anniversary King’s Trust VIP event at W5 where they had the incredible opportunity to meet King Charles III.
During the event, pupils proudly showcased robotics activities alongside the fantastic W5 staff and spoke to His Majesty about their S.A.V.E social enterprise project on Allergy Awareness.
In true royal fashion, the King greeted the group with a smile and quipped, “I bet you weren’t expecting to see me here!” before warmly chatting with the pupils about their work. He also commented that he hoped the original S.A.V.E Team had arrived home safely from London following last week’s national awards celebrations at the Royal Albert Hall.
A truly memorable and proud moment for our pupils, who continue to represent Strabane Academy with confidence, compassion and leadership wherever they go.

Congratulations to Jason in Year 9, who recently competed in the Swim Ulster Age Group & Senior Long Course Championships in Bangor.
Jason had an outstanding weekend of racing in the 13–14 age category, achieving multiple personal bests and earning an impressive Ulster bronze medal in the 200m butterfly event.
This is a fantastic achievement and a true reflection of Jason’s dedication and hard work. Well done, Jason!

Photos from Strabane Academy's post On Thursday, three members of staff had the privilege of being invited to the King’s Trust 50th Anniversary Garden Party at Buckingham Palace. It was a tremendous honour to represent our fantastic school on such a special occasion.
Mrs Dunn, Mrs Crosbie and Mr Hetherington donned their finest outfits and were delighted to have the opportunity to shake hands with, and speak to, His Majesty The King. As soon as he heard the word “Strabane”, he immediately asked about our pupils from Monday night. When we informed him that they were currently sitting exams, he quipped, “If they fail, they can blame me!”
The King is not the only one who has been asking about our young people. Several guests who attended Monday’s ceremony, or who had seen the news coverage online, instantly asked about Strabane Academy the moment we mentioned where we were from.
We are firmly on the map, and we could not be prouder of our pupils and school community!
