The £9 million campus on the site of the former Paible primary on west side of the island opened to pupils at the start of the school term in August.
Around 90 pupils plus 30 nursery children are enrolled.
Unlike the Private Finance Initiative schools at Daliburgh and in Lewis and Harris,

The total cost of the new school campus is just under £9 million, made up of £2.2 million from Scottish Government and £6.6 million by the Comhairle.
