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.

Welcome to the New School Year 2025/26

Our Open Night and Prize Giving will be held on Tuesday 25 June 2025.

Everyone Welcome

Our S3 French pupils have prepared presentations about celebrities. The presentations included slides with clues about each celebrity for guest judges to play “Guess Who?”

It was a fun and engaging way to demonstrate their learning, including their use of different tenses.

Thank you to the judges for embracing the game!

On Wednesday 4 June 2025 we went to visit the NHS bus which is used for training actual NHS staff!

We had to complete an escape room and finish the tasks before the time was up. We learned a lot of things, including how to dress a baby after its birth, practiced CPR, how to give air to a person who’s not breathing, and stuff about EpiPens.

We learned that you loose lots of heat out of your head so that’s why lots of babies wear hats.

We were doing CPR on dummies and learning about why they might be shocked and how to give them to someone if the person is unresponsive.

We learned about EpiPens, why, how and when to use them.

On  29 May 2025 our P7 pupils took part in the Shetland Primary Schools Hockey Festival in Brae, proudly representing Mid Yell with fantastic enthusiasm and team spirit. Across eight matches, the team delivered a strong performance winning three, drawing two, and losing three showing great resilience and determination throughout.

There were some fantastic skills on display, with exciting attacking play and strong, committed defending from all involved. The pupils worked brilliantly as a team, supporting one another and showing real progress in both their individual and team play.

The day began with beautiful weather, but it wasn’t long before the skies opened and heavy rain poured down. Despite the wet and windy conditions, the players kept their spirits high and continued to give their all right to the final whistle.

A huge thank you to Active Schools for organising and hosting such a brilliant event. It was a great opportunity for pupils to develop their hockey skills, enjoy competitive sport, and connect with others. We’re already looking forward to taking part again next year!
