Welcome to Killeenduff National School
Killeenduff National School (officially known as St Farnan’s N.S.) is a two teacher school located just outside Easkey village in Co. Sligo. The single storey building is situated across from The Split Rock. Local Legend has it that this rock – though actually carried to its current location by an Ice Age glacier – was split in two as a result of an argument between two giants. It is said that if one walks through the Split Rock three times, it will close, entombing the person for all time.
Within the school building, which was renovated and extended in 2007, are a junior classroom (Junior Infants – 2nd class), a Senior classroom (3rd class to 6th class), a special education room, a music/extra classroom, an office, a kitchen, toilet facilities and a store room.
On Friday we had a lovely visit from @ippn_education President @deirdrekellyippn . Deirdre is the President of St. Michael's, Clonacool . She is a huge advocate of small schools and primary education in Ireland. Her grandparents, Mr and Mrs Kelly were the teachers in Killeenduff NS and lived in 'Kelly's' house, the 'old school' across the road.
Thank you Deirdre, and keep Sligo and Small schools in Ireland on the map.
Spring has Sprung!!! The Junior room went on a lovely nature walk near the school on Friday to look for signs of Spring. It was a beautiful sunny day and great to get out in the fresh air.
It was #worldbookday2026, last Thursday, March 5th. Some of the junior room pupils brought in their favaurite book and told us all about it and why they like it. We had great fun reading from these books over the last few days.
On Tuesday, our Senior Room enjoyed a walking history tour of Ballina with Mike Kelly, Education Officer of the @jackieclarkecollection in Ballina.
