All Welcome

We thoroughly enjoyed world Book Day 2026 at Bell’s Brae.  We had people dressed as book characters, book quizzes, illustration drawing and of course, lots of reading!

The Pupil Council also held a book sale where over 380 books were sold!

Here are the book quiz winners with their certificates and prizes.

Shetland Islands Council is reminding parents and carers about registration week for early learning and childcare, and primary one school enrolment.

Registration week for early learning and childcare runs from Friday 13th February until 6pm on Friday 20th February.   Parents and carers of children born between 1st March 2023 and 29th February 2024, should register for an early learning and childcare place during registration week.  Places are also available for eligible two year olds.  Registration forms will be available online from the morning Friday 13th February at www.shetland.gov.uk/elc

Parents and carers of children already accessing a funded place do not need to register again.

Enrolment into primary one runs from Monday 16th February until Friday 20th February.  Parents and carers of children starting primary one after the summer holidays, should complete an online enrolment form. Forms will be available from the morning of Monday 16th February at www.shetland.gov.uk/schools/

Parents and carers who wish to make a placing request for a school outwith their catchment area, should complete an online enrolment form for the school that they would like their child to attend, as well as a placing request form.

Parents and carers of children who have not yet turned five by 19th August 2026 may choose to defer the entry of their child into primary one.  A deferred entry form should be completed, available at www.shetland.gov.uk/schools/.   The deadline for placing requests and deferred entry requests is 15th March 2026.

Any parents or carers with any queries can contact either their preferred school or early learning and childcare setting, or contact Children’s Services at Hayfield House on 01595 744074.
