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

Today we said goodbye to Caragh, our Student ICT Technician, as she completed her placement year with us at Strabane Academy.
Caragh has been a superb asset to our school community, making a tremendous contribution through her fantastic work in the Digital Hub and across the wider school. Her professionalism, enthusiasm, technical expertise and willingness to help others have been greatly appreciated by both staff and students alike.
We would like to thank Caragh for all of her hard work and dedication throughout the year and wish her every success as she returns to Ulster University for the final year of her studies.
We have no doubt that she has a bright future ahead and look forward to seeing all that she achieves. Good luck, Caragh, and thank you for everything!

Huge congratulations to Maya and her pony Daphne on an outstanding achievement! 🏆

We are incredibly proud of Maya and Daphne and wish them the very best of luck as they prepare to compete on the national stage. 🍀🐴

We are incredibly proud to celebrate one of our past pupils, Holly Milligan, who is making history today at the annual Trooping the Colour in London.
Farrier Lance Corporal Milligan is the first female farrier to serve within the Household Cavalry and today marks her first appearance in the King’s Birthday Parade, a truly historic and inspiring achievement.
Holly’s dedication, professionalism and commitment have led her to this remarkable milestone, and we are delighted to see a former pupil representing her regiment on such a prestigious national occasion.
Everyone at Strabane Academy sends Holly our warmest congratulations and best wishes as she takes her place in this historic event. What an incredible achievement!

Photos from Strabane Academy's post What’s good enough for Paddy McGuinness is good enough for us! 😊
Today our Year 11 Business Studies pupils had the opportunity to visit McColgan’s Factory and gain a fascinating insight into the operations of one of the region’s most successful businesses. From production processes to quality control and distribution, pupils enjoyed seeing first-hand how a leading food manufacturer operates.
A huge thank you to the McColgan’s team for their warm hospitality, informative tour and for taking the time to share their knowledge and experience with our pupils. It was a valuable and enjoyable learning experience for all involved.
Year 11 can now officially say they’ve been inside the factory! 🥧👏

Photos from Strabane Academy's post 9E have been working incredibly hard on their Media unit in English. Today, they used their knowledge of genre, presentational devices and language techniques to write detailed AI prompts and generate their own movie posters.
The creativity, attention to detail and critical thinking on display were fantastic. Well done, 9E! 🎬👏
