Historically, the current two storey building which is now attached to the orange hall was the old school at Aghadrumsee.  In the Survey of Education in 1826 it was described as costing £120 and was funded by the Kildare Place Society. No figures for enrolment are given as it was not yet open.


The new school was built as a replacement in 1937. It was then enlarged and renovated in 1973-74 to take in children from Magheraveely and Roslea. The school now caters for children from a wide rural area.


Other schools in the local area, which are now closed, included [[Rateen National School]]. <!-- Will expand on this or link to page on Rateen National-->
