Transport Arrangements for S5 & S6 Courses at UHI
Scalloway and Gremista Campuses - 2024/2025
The growth in interest for partnership courses at UHI-Shetland is a very positive outcome arising from our intention to broaden the senior phase curriculum offer. We are pleased to continue our work in partnership with UHI-Shetland to achieve this.
One of the challenges of this growth in the numbers of young people accessing partnership courses relates to how we support students get to the campuses from Anderson High School and Brae High School and support students get home at the end of the day.
Students can make their own arrangements to attend UHI-Shetland partnership courses however the following arrangements have been put in place to support student travel where we are aware of public service network timetabling and/or capacity limitations.
The following table sets out the arrangements which are in place for the session 2024/2025.
