Education / Most schools to be affected by industrial action next Monday

MOST schools in Shetland will be affected by industrial action next Monday (6 February).

Members of two teaching unions, the Education Institute for Scotland (EIS) and the Association of Head Teachers and Deputes in Scotland (AHDS), have voted to undertake industrial action on the day.

This action will affect most schools in Shetland with all secondaries closed, and most primary schools and early learning and childcare settings also closed.

The only primaries open will be Cullivoe, Fair Isle and Skeld. Early years/out of school clubs at Bell’s Brae, Brae, Fair Isle, Sandwick, Scalloway, Skeld, Sound and Whiteness will also be open.

Shetland Islands Council has today (30 January) written to parents and carers with details of the situation in their child/children’s school.

The summary for all schools and early learning and childcare settings in Shetland is shown on the council’s latest news webpage.
