Shetland West, Shetland Islands: Schools
Schools
Shetland West has 4 state primary schools, all run by Shetland Islands Council. There are no private schools in the neighbourhood.
The primary schools here are Skeld Primary, Sandness Primary, Papa Stour Primary, Happyhansel Primary, and Foula Primary. Aith Junior High School sits just on the boundary and serves older pupils. It covers primary through to S4, so children can stay local well into secondary education.
Scotland's schools are inspected by Education Scotland rather than Ofsted. We couldn't find recent inspection reports for these schools at the time of writing.
Because of the rural island setting, class sizes tend to be small. That's something to keep in mind if you're moving with a family.
