Good afternoon everyone,
We stop today at 3pm for the mid term holiday. The children return to school on Thursday 17th February at 9am.
I would like to wish all our families a welcome and relaxing holiday.
See you next week!
Please see attached the information for Children’s Mental Health Week 2022.
We are looking forward to an enjoyable end to the week.
We have some brilliant news about our new school fleeces and jackets. Please see the attached letter from Mr Mothersole.
Good evening everyone,
Please read the attached update regarding our return to school tomorrow.
We are looking forward to seeing all of the children tomorrow!
Thanks and see you in the morning!

Good morning everyone, today is the final day of the school term and the final day of school in 2021!
We have a Christmas hamper and other Christmas goodies to give away today. Each family in the school has been allocated a number and at 12noon I will randomly select a number and that family will be our winner. (This will be posted for everyone to see!)
If you are unable to come to school to collect your prize then I will drop it off to you, at home, at a convenient time over the next few days.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your continued help and support this year. There will be further mitigations and changes to rules when we return in January and I will post these for you all prior to our return. They are not for consideration just now.
For now, I would like to wish all of you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Be kind to each other!
Mr M
From Thursday 6 January 2022, all primary 5 pupils will be able to receive a universal school meal and it won’t cost parents a penny.
P5s will join P1, P2, P3 and P4 in receiving a universal school meal as part of the Scottish Government’s expansion of healthy meals to all primary pupils.
Check www.renfrewshire.gov.uk/schoolmeals to see the AMEY school meal menu.
At Cochrane Castle, we are very fortunate to have such a unique school name and we like to celebrate the ‘castle’ element as much as possible.
We have our Kings and Queens awards to celebrate children that demonstrate our school values and now, to coincide with the relaunch of our houses, we have our weekly Wizard Awards to celebrate children who have excelled in areas of the curriculum. One Wizard award will be given each week from each class. The children can be the Maths Wizard, the PE Wizard, the Science Wizard, the History Wizard and so on.
Our Wizards will receive a special star shaped badge in the colour of their house, a special certificate and an invitation to a special banquet with Mr Mothersole where they can have a drink, some crisps and a chocolate or sweet treat of their choice.
Today was the first special banquet and our first weekly Wizards had a great time.
Congratulations to the Wizards from Topaz –
Connor Toman, Erin McDougall and James Adams
Congratulations to the Wizards from Emerald –
Robyn Mitchell and Shaun Mitchell
Congratulations to the Wizards from Sapphire –
Mirren McBeth and Lily Houston
