Here's the cake to mark Mr Cooper's retirement.
Note the Hartlepool scarf (made of icing) tied round it
He christens the Coop Deck ....
.... beaming fondly at the audience of around 80 staff
Addressing the children for the very last time, ...
.....he shows them the picture he has donated to school: "Chums Forever"
NB Hartlepool scarf
In the staffroom, the farewell speech to staff
Goodbye to a very special man
(from Hartlepool, surprisingly enough!)
