Welcome to St Aidan's National School
St Aidan’s National school is a two-teacher school nestling in the shadows of Benwiskin. The school was built in 1958 and officially opened on September 1st 1959 with Mary McGowan as Principal. A large extension was added on in 2009, to include two new classrooms and a new office, new toilets and resource rooms.
St Aidan's National School, located on the North Sligo and Leitrim border, has educated local children for sixty five years.
The school is a two teacher school with a learning support/Resource teacher, and a part-time Special Needs Assistant. It is located beneath the shadow of the scenic and historic Benwiskin Mountain.
It is a happy and peaceful environment in which our children are nurtured and educated. We pride ourselves on "the happy and positive learning environment" with friendly, courteous pupils.
We operate an open door policy with a spirit of cooperation and Cead Míle Fáilte.
Currently there are 15 children enrolled in St. Aidan’s NS, and this relatively small school community ensures that the children are all known to each other and frequently share learning experiences.
