Parents have been left furious over a school's 'unfair' decision to hand ice cream out to children who had 100% attendance last term.
Children at Bede Burn School, Jarrow, were reportedly crying over the primary school's attendance reward system, which sees pupils who had full attendance last term a free ice cream, provided by a ice cream van which came onto school grounds.
Mum-of-two Gabrielle Houston, whose children attend Bede Burn, said the incident had left her eight-year-old son 'in tears' at school pick-up on Friday, January 21.
