Schools and early learning settings in Shetland will remain closed tomorrow, Thursday 15 December, with the continued wintry weather conditions and power supply problems.

With temperatures forecast to fall below freezing tonight, uncertainty over access to side roads for school transport across Shetland and the ongoing disruption of power supply across the islands, the decision has been taken for schools and early learning settings to stay closed tomorrow, for the safety of pupils and staff.  Fair Isle Primary School will, however, remain open.

The Eric Gray Centre at Seafield will also close tomorrow.
