Huge Congratulations to Leah!
Congratulations to Leah for winning this year’s Young Shetland Writer competition in the 10-12 year old category for her piece called The Arctic.
Leah attended the prize giving ceremony at the Shetland Library on Friday night where she read her work.
Have a listen to her reading the beginning of her story.
We’re so proud of you Leah! Well done!

Congratulations to all our pupils who took part in the Yell Show this weekend! You clearly showed that you are aspiring, creative, and hard-working members of our community. Your entries highlighted just how fantastic you all are.
A diverse range of prizes was won across the baking, flowers, arts and crafts, and produce sections.
We are especially proud of our school garden and gardeners for winning the Basket of Assorted Vegetables — a wonderful achievement!
We’ve already been able to make some key improvements around our school environment:
S1 Social Area now has new smart seating.
Lower Primary Classroom has plants and various items to make it feel more homely.
Upper Primary Classroom has comfortable seating area.
On Wednesday, 20 August 2025, John Swinney visited our school to meet with our nursery department and speak with community members about the impact of participating in the Early Adopter Community.
The project, which has been running for around five years, has provided access to childcare within our nursery department for two-year-olds. Its aim is to support families by providing childcare places within our nursery, that enable parents to access employment—something that had been limited due to the lack of childcare options across our island.
The Parent Council AGM is being held on Tuesday 23 September 2025 at 1800 hours.
It would be brilliant to see a great turnout at the AGM.
We look forward to seeing you here in the school.
We look forward to a successful year for everyone!
We’re excited to share that our P6/7 pupils have just set off on their much-anticipated week long trip to Loch Insh!
Everyone was in great form this afternoon as they boarded the bus, ready for a week of outdoor adventure, teamwork, and fun.
More photos and news on their return!
