My mother-in-law, Jean Leeming, who has died aged 96, was a primary headteacher and education adviser. She spent most of her teaching career in deprived areas of Glasgow and Paisley and had a passionate belief in the transformative power of education.
As head of the primary section of West school and later as headteacher of Maxwellton primary school, both in Paisley, she worked with some of the poorest children and families. Her positive attitude, energy and commitment had an indelible influence on many young lives.
