Mid Yell school shut due to electrical fault
The Burravoe Primary School will also close early today as meals are provided by Mid Yell
THE MID Yell Junior High School is shut today (Monday) due to what is thought to be an electrical fault – with another school on the island set to close early as a result.
A spokesperson for Shetland Islands Council (SIC) said investigations are underway and the Mid Yell building will reopen when it is safe to do so.
However, it confirmed that the Burravoe Primary School in Yell will also close at lunchtime today.
This is because meals are provided by Mid Yell Junior High School.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said it attended Mid Yell Junior High School but described it as a false alarm.
Separately, the Yell ferry service was reduced to a single vessel earlier this morning due to a technical fault.
However, following a temporary repair the service is back to two vessels.
