A DILIGENT pupil who went to school every day last term was rewarded with a games console.

Shaney-Lee Rolfe had 100 per cent attendance at St Andrew’s Infant School, in Hickory Avenue, Greenstead, during the autumn term.

As a reward Shaney-Lee, six, was given a Playstation 3 after being drawn at random from everyone who had full attendance.

The competition was organised by headteacher Melody Lowe as a new way to improve school attendance.

Sainsbury’s Colchester donated the prize and Lisa Simister, HR manager at Sainsbury’s, said: “It has been really good supporting St Andrew’s School and anything we can do which helps make a difference to these children we will continue to do. We hope to be able to support and hold yearly award ceremonies with the school to help raise aspirations in different ways in the future.”
