At Strabane Academy we offer a broad and balanced curriculum designed to nurture the unique strengths and talents of each individual pupil.

What's Happening

Photos from Strabane Academy's post Where do we even begin? 🤩
Proud doesn’t come close when it comes to Jamie in Year 14.
Jamie is currently on his way home from Sheffield with his mum after spending two days in hospital donating his stem cells, an incredible act that will give someone else a second chance at life.
What makes this even more remarkable is that Jamie had only been on the DKMS stem cell register for a few months when he was identified as a match for someone in need of a transplant. From our registration drive back in November, we never imagined something like this would happen so soon.
Jamie is one of the most modest, kind, and caring young people you could meet. When he was contacted, he didn’t hesitate for a second. Brave doesn’t quite cover it.
This is what a lifesaver looks like.
Jamie, we are in absolute awe of you. 💙

The Strabane Academy ‘Renegade XI’ who played St Eunan’s college in a 3 innings T10 blast. After Mr Sargent’s outstanding mathematical equations the game ended in a tie, but cricket was definitely the winner!

Photos from Strabane Academy's post Strababe Academy’s u15 boys travelled to Grosvenor Grammar School and returned, recording a bloodless win. Putting their hosts in to bat a double wicket maiden from Roy first up set the scene for the rest of the innings. The captain shuffled his pack, using 8 bowlers who shared out the wickets, with Alex, Ben, Bobby and Riley all getting their names in the book. Chasing only 38 for victory Adam D and William set upon any lose bowling, dispatching the home side to all parts. Some big shots and excellent running between the wickets lead to a 10 wicket win in less than 5 overs.
Congratulations to William and Adam who carried their bats in a 10 wicket victory.

Photos from Strabane Academy's post 8H and Miss Elliott recently participated in a number of 'Poetry in Motion' workshops led by our wonderful creative facilitator, Valerie.
Each week, through imaginative stimuli, the pupils immersed themselves in old and new worlds. Their appreciation of the natural world and daily observations was beautifully expressed in poetic forms.
Well done, 8H, and thank you, Valerie, for the memories and words!

🚀 Arkwright Engineering Scholarship Success! 🚀
Huge congratulations to Year 12 pupil Eliza-Jane on being awarded the prestigious Arkwright Engineering Scholarship, one of the most sought-after honours for aspiring engineers across the UK!
Making history for Strabane Academy, Eliza-Jane is the first student ever from the school to achieve this incredible distinction. With over 1,500 applicants nationwide and only a handful of scholarships awarded in Northern Ireland each year, this is an outstanding accomplishment.
Eliza-Jane impressed judges throughout a highly competitive selection process, successfully completing:
-A demanding aptitude test
-A professional interview
-A presentation of her GCSE Technology & Design project to a panel of industry experts
Her hard work, talent, and passion for engineering truly set her apart.
As part of this exciting journey, Eliza-Jane will soon be matched with a leading industry sponsor with global innovators like Rolls-Royce having supported scholars in the past.
This is a phenomenal achievement and a proud moment for the entire school community. We can’t wait to see where Eliza-Jane’s engineering future takes her! 🌟
