Visit to old school site

Pupils from classes Orkney and Shetland  recently visited the site of the old school  with Morgan Sindall.
Our pupils are  working with the company, learning about how a building is constructed and will return in the new year to see the medical centre when it is almost finished.

Thank you also to Morgan Sindall who are presenting us with a flag pole for our Green Eco flag to go on.

Special Visitor

Thank You

We were recently the host school for the
International Conference; Embedding Health and Wellbeing Across the Curriculum.

Take a look at some of the comments below from the delegates who took part in the visit and came back to the conference feeling inspired by their experience.

  • They thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the publication ‘50 Things to do Outdoors Before you Leave Isobel Mair School’ which they commented was full of lovely ideas such as ‘laying a stick trail’ or ‘make a driftwood sculpture’.
    They were also delighted to be given a copy of the book to take away.
  • The tour of the school by your pupils was also mentioned as a highlight of the visit.
  • The aim of the visit was to allow the delegates to see ‘health and wellbeing in action’ and the visit to Isobel Mair certainly enabled them to do this most effectively.
