ODEON reward for pupils with 100 per cent attendance
Pupils from more than twenty primary schools in Manchester were treated to their very own private screening of the latest blockbuster must-see for youngsters ‘The Tooth Fairy’ at the ODEON cinema in The Printworks, Manchester this week.
The youngsters were invited to the exclusive screening of the film with their family as a reward for their 100 per cent attendance and effort for attendance at school during the last term.
The Council is working with award winning social enterprise MOTIV as part of a package of measures to improve school attendance in the city.

The cinema reward – organised by MOTIV – is just one of a package of rewards to pupils at the city’s schools for 100 per cent attendance and 100 per cent effort for attendance that also includes family meals at Nando’s and YO! Sushi, TenPin bowling, and Hollywood Bowl family tickets, free entrance to Laser-ace and Asylum Paintballing, and FC United match day family tickets.
Every primary school and secondary school in the city was invited to take part in The 100% Challenge. Pupils are rewarded with exclusively designed badges at each half term and if they complete a whole term with full attendance or significantly improved attendance they receive a special reward tailored to their year group and their school.
Councillor Sheila Newman, Executive Member Children’s Services, Manchester City Council, said: “Attending school every day they should is one of the most important lessons children and their families need to learn. If children and young people do this they stand the best chance of success both in school and in the future.
“The cinema visit was a well deserved treat for some of those pupils and their families who have achieved 100 per cent attendance over the last school term.”
