Shetland North, Shetland Islands: Schools
Schools
Schools in Shetland North are thin on the ground, but they're there when you need them. You've got 2 primary schools in the neighbourhood itself, 1 secondary school nearby, and further education through UHI Shetland learning centres.
Urafirth and Ollaberry are your 2 primary schools. They're both small, state-run schools run by Shetland Islands Council. North Roe Primary School sits just outside the boundary but it's the closest overall at roughly 2 kilometres away.
Brae High School is the secondary for the area, serving older pupils. It's around 19 kilometres away — that's just how things work on a rural island.
UHI Shetland runs a learning centre at Brae High School, so older students and adults can access further education without leaving the mainland. Scottish schools aren't inspected by Ofsted — Education Scotland handles that instead, so you won't find Ofsted ratings for these schools.
