A THORNABY pupil has been recognised for achieving a 100 per cent school attendance record.
Christina Clifford, ten, a pupil at Harewood Junior School, has not been off since September.
She was presented with an award by Roary the Lion from Middlesbrough Football Club as part of Stockton Borough Council's new programme which emphasises the importance of attending school.
Under the programme, Schools Tackling Absence and Rewarding Success, youngsters who have attended school for 100, 99 or 98 per cent of the academic year will be rewarded for their efforts.
