It is located at the south end of the village. Originally known as Seskinore No.2 National School. It was built on a site donated by Lt. Col. John Knox McClintock who also largely subscribed to its construction. Building work began in 1900 and the school was completed in 1902. The No.2 school (so called because the first national school in the village was the Chapel School - now closed) had previously been located in a building opposite the Chapel gates (i.e. the RC Church, which was known as the Chapel) Other schools attended by pupils from the area include Garvallagh PS and St Lawrences PS in Fintona
