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 St. Brigid’s Carnhill made the trip to Melvin in the u14 Northern Ireland Cup and returned to Derry empty handed. The Strabane Academy girls completing a solid 3-1 victory, with Mia registering a brace and Emily adding a third. This allows the girls progress to the next round. Special mention to Zara, who due to injury, donned the goalkeeping gloves producing an excellent display of handling and distribution.
We love how buzzing Mr Sargent is in his photo. 🤣

Photos from Strabane Academy's post Yesterday pupils in year 12 had the opportunity to attend the Future Pathways Careers Fair at the Melvin Sports Complex. Pupils were able to interact with many job sectors within the community, and learn about possible courses or study at Post 16. There was even some cheeky freebies too. 🙂

Photos from Strabane Academy's post CELEBRATING PUPIL SUCCESS 🤩
A huge congratulations to Oliver, who was awarded the Ian Heaslett Cup for Junior Club Player of the Year award. As this is a brand-new award, Oliver will forever have his name immortalised as the first-ever recipient! 👏🏆
Oliver has worked incredibly hard throughout the year, taking every opportunity to get involved in school cricket. He has also attended coaching sessions with the Northwest Cricket Union alongside Louis Botha, while continuing to practise and play with his home club, Sion Mills Cricket Club, across the U13s, 2nd XI and 1st XI teams.
Oliver is a fantastic example of our #ASPIRE values, demonstrating ambition, resilience and enjoyment across the many teams he represents. He truly embodies our school values by setting high expectations, striving to be the best he can be and, above all, never giving up.
Well done, Oliver! Keep aspiring, keep working hard and keep enjoying your cricket! 🏏💙
