Welcome to Shetland Digital School Hub. This site is intended to provide guidance and support  to parents/carers, staff and pupils during these unprecedented times.

In April 2020 the OECD Published a report ‘Quality education for all during Covid-19 crisis‘. Within this report it states:

‘However, the mental and emotional shift for teachers, parents, and students is massive. While educators scramble to set up ‘homeschools’, it is necessary to realise that a stressed mental state is not productive to teach or learn. Educators, parents, and students need to focus first on adjusting to new healthy routines and environments, which will take time to develop. With little assurance when emergency homeschooling will end at this stage, we should take the time we need for our safety and well being first and foremost.’

The following documents, produced by Children’s Services,  provide guidance on:
