Inside the tiny Highland school with just two pupils BBC Scotland News

This is our school. This is where school P6. I'm Shannon. I'm Molly. I'm age nine and we are in primary. My name is Holly and I'm the class teacher at Dur Primary School. We are in the west coast of Scotland in the Highlands and we're uniquely small school with just two pupils. We're really close. We we mostly do everything all together kind of every day. we play in school and after school we're best friends. Best friends. It is wonderful. Not many people get this opportunity as teacher and don't think everybody would like it, but absolutely love it. love the flexibility and the freedom for going out and exploring. If the weather's good, yeah, we can go and do our work down at the beach. We don't have to stay in the classroom. Go here about once or twice week. We like to go down to the water after we're done all of our lessons. We get to do math, spelling, stories. We make up our own stories. We all sit down and eat lunch together. It's really special teacher pupil relationship. You get to know them really well. You don't just have them for one year. Miss Grace prints pictures out of us that we've done and she sticks us in this big book that we have. We are learning how to do CPR. That's our friends that we had on Mark. That's when we went to the beach and my wellie boots nearly got swept away. On paper, it's two children. In reality, it's the whole community. We have so many more children in the school throughout the week with toddler group and with our nurture group. think the fact that we have managed to keep it open and keep it going shows like what you can do with small school and why they're important not just as school but within the wider community. We wanted this to stay open because obviously I've been here for most of my life. It's such nice school and think people should really go here cuz it's such good school and would never want it to close. But not too many people please.
