To all children and families of Cochrane Castle,

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you all. My name is Graeme Mothersole and I have been appointed as Acting Head Teacher of Cochrane Castle while Mrs McDowall is on secondment. I have most recently been working as Acting Head Teacher of Our Lady of Peace Primary in Linwood and prior to that I was Depute Head Teacher of Brediland Primary in Foxbar for 7 years.

I am really looking forward to meeting you all and working with you next session. I have had the opportunity to meet the staff team and Mrs McDowall has spoken to me about the wonderful children and the amazing things that go on in the school.

I appreciate that this may be a time of great uncertainty for many of you but please know that the school is prepared for every eventuality that August may bring. Renfrewshire Council will continue to keep everyone updated throughout the summer and myself and the staff will be ready and refreshed to welcome you all back to Cochrane Castle at the beginning of the new term.

I hope you all have a wonderful summer and I will see you in August.

Thank you

Mr G T Mothersole
Acting Head Teacher
