Claire Baker was shown around the school by head tea
cher Mrs Rae Walker who highlighted the work the teaching staff and pupils undertook in achieving the award and met pupils from Primary 2.
Speaking after the tour, Claire Baker said:
“To reach not just level 1 but level 2 of the Rights Respecting award in such a short period of time is a fantastic achievement and it was great to get the opportunity to share the schools achievement with the Scottish Parliament.
“Fair Isle Primary must be congratulated on the work they are doing with the pupils and the community at large. Rae and all the staff at the school can be rightly proud of themselves and it is great to see and hear about the extra effort they make to involve parents and carers in the school.
Rae Walker, Headteacher at Fair Isle Primary, said:
“We are very proud of achieving our Rights Respecting Level 2 award in a year and were pleased to welcome Claire to the school for a visit.
“We were all delighted when we heard that Claire was tabling a motion at the Scottish Parliament acknowledging the hard work and commitment of everyone involved in achieving it.”
