During this strange time as we begin to look towards next session and what our priorities should be, we would like to hear more of your views. Your thoughts are essential to ensuring that Cochrane Castle continues to be the school we all want it to be and we hope you will take the time to share your thoughts with us by completing the short survey below. The survey will close on Monday, 18th May, We look forward to reading your thoughts.
