“Instead, it was simply a way of recognising the dedication of those pupils who, through a combination of good health, support from home and their own commitment, were able to attend every day throughout the school year.
“With attendance remaining an important focus nationally, we felt it was a nice opportunity to celebrate a positive achievement and acknowledge the effort these pupils have made.”
