For every child who achieves 100% attendance each week, £1 is added to their class piggy bank. Classes can boost their savings even further, with £10 added for the class with the best attendance each week and £5 added if a class improves its attendance compared to the previous week. This encourages everyone to work together, support one another and make every school day count.
