TEENAGERS with a 100 per cent school attendance record are to receive awards.

Durham County Council wants to invite final year secondary pupils with a full attendance to a celebration.

During the past two years the council has presented awards to year 11 pupils for full attendance during their time at secondary school.

The students will be given a tour of Sunderland Football Club's Stadium of Light and a presentation dinner.

The council is urging parents who think their son or daughter may have a 100 per cent record to contact their school before the end of the summer term. To be eligible, the 100 per cent attendance must continue until then.
