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

Last league game of the season for our Y8 hockey team away to Cookstown HS this afternoon. The whole team put in a huge first half shift to keep CHS at bay and went in to the break 0-0. Two minutes into the second half, an impressive SA press resulted in a well deserved and well taken goal from Robyn McG. CHS didn’t sit back and they led a heavy attack on the SA defence which gained them a penalty corner, resulting in an equaliser. SA kept their heads up and continued to play quality passes from defence, through to midfield and had a few chances on goal nearing the end of the second half. The SA defending was phenomenal throughout. Final result was 1-1. The girls fought so hard for each other and didn’t let up the pressure or intensity for one second. Miss Keys is a very proud coach this evening. 😁🏑
There is no player of the match because the whole team was outstanding! 👏

Last week, our Year 9 students met up with St Columba's once again for a screening of Zootropolis 2 in Eclipse Cinema, followed by a workshop based on the film. Students talked about their schools and how we can work together to create a better community. Strabane Academy may be petitioning for a half day on a Wednesday like St Columba's have! Great to see students from both schools interacting, making friends and having fun. Well done all! 🫶

🎉 Congratulations to Sam, Year 13, on winning the Senior School 100% Attendance Draw for February! 👏
This is a fantastic achievement and a great example of commitment and consistency. Excellent attendance plays a vital role in academic success, every lesson counts, helping students stay on track, build understanding, and reach their full potential.
It’s also just as important pastorally. Being in school every day supports wellbeing, strengthens friendships, and ensures students feel connected, supported, and part of the school community.

A Level History students had an incredible opportunity as we visited Omagh Academy to attend a fascinating guest lecture by Dr Rees on Irish History.
The talk explored key themes and turning points, offering fresh perspectives that will help us prepare for our exams.
It was also a great chance to experience a lecture-style environment, helping us prepare for university-level study. We’re very grateful to Omagh Academy for hosting the event and to Dr Rees for such an insightful and thought-provoking session.
A memorable and inspiring trip for all involved!

The Public Health Agency (PHA) is aware of the meningococcal disease outbreak recently reported in South East England. It is important to note that the UKHSA is leading the response to the outbreak and there is no increased risk to the population in Northern Ireland. However, this incident highlights that it is important for everyone to be aware of the signs and symptoms of meningitis and the steps to take if they are concerned.
Please see the attached graphic to guide and help in recognising and responding appropriately to symptoms. 9 Likes

We have been incredibly impressed by the confidence, passion, and commitment shown by all involved. Each candidate has represented themselves brilliantly and should be proud of how well they have canvassed.
We wish every candidate the very best of luck, what a fantastic group of young leaders!
