YOUNGSTERS at an east Cleveland infants' school made books for their headteacher, who is retiring.

Viv Bowman has been the headteacher of Harry Dack Infants School, in Loftus, for almost 17 years and yesterday she enjoyed a retirement concert put together by the children, parents and friends of the school.

After the concert, Mrs Bowman was presented with a camera, photographs, flowers and books made by the children to remind her of her time at the school.

She said she had enjoyed her time as headteacher and would miss everyone, especially the children.

Mrs Bowman plans to spend more time with her young grandchildren
