A PUPIL with a perfect school attendance record this year has been given a unique reward.
Thomas Vaughan,13, did not miss a single day of lessons at Joseph Swan School in Gateshead.
His 100 per cent record impressed the town's mayor Councillor David Lynn so much that he gave Thomas a turn at tilting the world-famous Gateshead Millennium Bridge.
The mayor took Thomas and his parents to Gateshead Quays for a guided tour of the bridge's workings.
The youngster, who lives in Low Fell, won the honour, after his name was drawn out of the hat from all of the pupils who had perfect attendance records.
