All schools in Shetland will be CLOSED today (Wednesday 8th March) due to the continued wintry weather conditions.
With fresh falls of snow overnight, many roads now have accumulations of lying snow. The cold weather is forecast to continue for the rest of the week.
A decision has been made to close all schools and early years settings in Shetland today, including Hame Fae Hame nursery in Scalloway.
Secondary pupils, especially those in S4, S5 and S6, are encouraged to log on to MS Teams for remote learning and support from school staff.
