Laura Jones was featured in the Evening Leader when she left Ysgol yr Esgob in Caerwys at the age of 11, for having 100 per cent attendance.

Now, she is about to take her final exams at Holywell High school and her 100 per cent attendance record is still intact.

Her mother Kerry said she is very proud of her daughter, adding: "She did it in primary school and now she's done it at high school.

"They were quite shocked when they found out, because they didn't realise she had 100 per cent attendance at primary school as well."

An award ceremony is being planned at the school, where her achievement will be recognised, but Kerry is now focusing on revising for her GCSEs and plans to attend the school's sixth form in September.

She is hoping to do A-levels in home economics, biology, performing arts and Welsh.

Laura said she enjoys school and that the reason she never missed a lesson is because she has been blessed with good health during term time.

She said: "I like some of the lessons at school and all my friends are there.

"I rarely get ill in school time, it's usually in the holidays."

Acting is one of Laura's career ambitions and she has just starred in the school production of Grease.

She said: "I would like to either go on to university to do home economics and become a teacher, or go on to an acting academy."
