Templerainey school was opened in September 1942 with two classrooms and 90 pupils. A third classroom was added in 1947 and a fourth in 1958. In the sixties and early seventies prefabricated classrooms were erected to cater for the rapid expansion. In 1975 a major extension took place - six classrooms, principal's office, staff room, kitchen, library, recreation hall and toilets. In 1986 a modernisation programme was undertaken and several further improvements have been done in subsequent years.In September 2004 a further major extension costing over €3,000,000 was opened. This comprised 9 new classrooms, Staff Room, Principal's Office, new G.P. Room, Stores, lifts and Computer Room.
