If you are a proud parent – or one of the pupils in the picture – here is a reminder of the day you hit the headlines thanks to your 100 per cent school attendance rate.
We have reminders from Southwick Primary in 2005, Hetton in 2003, and St Anne’s RC Primary in 2006.
Add in Havelock Primary and a whole load of kids from Sunderland enjoying a reward day at Beamish for their great attendance record in 2008, and it adds up to great memories.
