Welcome

Welcome to Strabane Academy

It was Aristotle who said that, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act, but a habit.”

Within these pages we have tried to capture something of the spirit of school life and convey the sense of pride we feel in being part of this community. As you view our website, look out for the many opportunities that we provide which help students develop positive habits for life.

It may be how we extend learning beyond the classroom; through sports, Languages, Duke of Edinburgh, opportunities to travel abroad, practical life skills such as wood working and the culinary arts, work-based learning, leadership opportunities and the school council all of these are enriching on many levels.

Photos from Strabane Academy's post ☀️🚌 Year 10 History Trip Highlights! 🏰📚
Our Year 10 students had an unforgettable day exploring the rich history of the Maiden City! From a fascinating visit to the Siege Museum to powerful stories at the Museum of Free Derry, pupils and staff were fully immersed in two sides of Derry’s incredible past.
🗺️ The sunshine made our walking tour even more enjoyable as we traced key historical landmarks and deepened our understanding of this iconic city’s legacy.
A brilliant day of learning, reflection, and sunshine! 🌞🕊️
