Head Teachers Welcome
It is my great honour to welcome you to North West Sutherland Schools Campus, a unique 3–18 learning community set within the remarkable landscape of the Highlands of Scotland.
​
Our campus brings together Early Learning and Childcare, Primary and Secondary education, united by a shared commitment to putting children and young people at the heart of everything we do. We are on an exciting journey to redefine our values, aims and mission across all settings, ensuring a consistent, nurturing and ambitious experience for every learner from their earliest years through to adulthood.
​
As a team, we are working collaboratively and with purpose to build a culture of high expectations, inclusion, care and aspiration. Our focus is not only on raising standards and attainment, but on creating a learning environment where young people feel safe, valued and empowered to be themselves and to succeed.
​
North West Sutherland Schools is a place where relationships matter, where learning is meaningful and where our community plays a vital role in shaping our shared future. We are proud of our rural context, our strong partnerships with families and the wider community, and the opportunities this provides for rich, real-world learning.
​
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our campus. Whether you are a parent, carer, pupil or partner, you are very welcome here. Together, we are building a place of excellence – and an excellent place to be.

MEET OUR PUPIL PARLIMENT
Welcome to our Pupil Parliament, a vibrant cross-campus initiative where students have the power to make a real difference in their community. The importance of pupil voice in education cannot be overstated; it empowers students to express their ideas, concerns, aspirations, fostering a sense of ownership responsibility in their learning environment. By actively participating in decision-making processes, pupils shape policies and initiatives that directly impact their educational experience, creating a more inclusive and responsive community. Join us as we champion the voices of our students work together towards positive change!
