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.

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! 🚀
