Health and Wellbeing Survey

Shetland Islands Council is planning to ask all pupils in P5 to S6 to take part in a survey about their health and wellbeing. The findings will help Shetland Islands Council to understand the needs, strengths and possible concerns of children and young people, which will help plan future improvements to local services.

Parents will receive a letter providing more detailed information about the Census, and the opportunity to let us know if they do not wish for their child to take part. For more information please visit: www.shetland.gov.uk/schools

Finalist in the Education Award Category

Bell’s Brae Primary School is a finalist in the Education Award category in the Helping It Happen Awards 2021! Organised by Scottish Land & Estates, the awards are now in their fifth year.

The winners will be announced at a free virtual ceremony at 19:00 on Wednesday 27 October as part of their online celebrations, in lieu of a physical ceremony and dinner.

This award celebrations our partnership with the Lerwick Port Authority and Shetland Amenity Trust to plant around 70 trees and shrubs  at Holmsgarth, assisting the port in rewilding an unused area of the port estate.  This planting was very relevant to the primary 4 classes work on ‘Living Things’ and their current work on ‘Recycling and Climate Change’.

Anyone interested in viewing the ceremony can register interest here. A joining link in advance of the ceremony will be provided,  when this is confirmed.
