YEAR 6 pupil Mufaro Matam-banadzo enjoyed a West End treat as a reward for not missing a day for three years.

West Thurrock Primary pupil Mufaro, 11, was shocked and thrilled to be singled out in assembly and given a ticket to see The Lion King at London's Lyceum Theatre. Mufaro, of South View Road, Grays, said: "I had no idea until I was told in assembly and I opened the envelope with the winner's name. It was one of my best days ever - I'm glad I come to school every day."
