The Aquinas Foundation went along to present the winner at Whitegate Primary School for the 100% attendance award. Also present was Lillian Greenwood local Labour MP who was there to award all of the 100% attendance certificates to the children.

Attendance is a very important topic in schools and we are always looking to help the individual schools that we work with, with any problem areas they may have. It is so easy for pupils to start falling behind in school merely by taking a couple of days off, so if we can help the school to encourage the children in any way to try their very best to be in school every day then we will.

We provided the school with the incentive of a Brand New Land Rover Mountain Bike and the winner was drawn out of a hat during the awards ceremony.

The lucky winner was David pictured here with the Head Master of Whitegate Primary, he had received 100% attendance which is a great achievement and something both himself and his parents should be proud of.

We have been working with Whitegate School on their attendance projects for a few years now and are very pleased to hear of how much our help has subsequently increased their attendance scores and The Aquinas Foundation will continue to support the school with such projects in the future.
