For more than three decades Boro fan Caroline Tyreman has commuted from her home in Thornaby to Brougham Primary School, in Hartlepool, every day to teach the children there.

Now, Caroline is calling time on her career and looking forward to a well-earned retirement.

Caroline started working at the school in 1990 as a Year 5/6 teacher for 10 to 11-year-olds, and during her time there has taken on various roles.

Her last position was the school’s lead practioner for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
