We're 'outstanding' ... or at least some of us are

One of those days when everything has been going on at school. My class began by writing letters and taking photos to send to a class in Japan who's teacher visted them last year. Then we had the dentist arriving for dental checks, which we completed in time for a visit from the Dogs Against Drugs team. In the afternoon, the 'high heid yins' from Lerwick were up for a look round and then we handed out the reports which have been occupying our thoughts and evenings for most of the week.

None of these things deserve being called 'outstanding', but the results of the HMI Nursery report were published in The Shetland Times today and this was the very word used to describe the Nursery provision. So well done Catherine and Alison and all who work in the Nursery.

Baltasound Junior High School

Many congrats to the nursery staff. Radio Shetland & Shetland Times reported it in glowing terms.

Yes, this is the whole scholl, not just the nursery and yes, this is a library photo.
