So this is where the money goes...

The Eastern Daily Press today reports that a school in Cambridgeshire has spent £500 to reward a pupil for her 100% attendance record.

Given the well publicised financial situation in the UK along with the fact that the Government is working flat-out to cut waste (such as this), one cannot help but think that this money would have been better spent elsewhere.

Heaven help the school should they fall short of money come next March...
