Britain King Edward VII Medal for Punctual Attendance 1910 for 2nd Award with Bronze Bar by the London County Council

Great Britain: King Edward VII Medal of the London 
County Council for Punctual Attendance.
Example of the Year 1909-10 with bar 1910, in white 
metal with bronze bar, indicating a 2nd award. 
Attributed to V. PAGE.
The medal was instituted in 1887 by Queen Victoria.
The first medal featuring King Edward was awarded
in 1902, the inscription "...DURING THE YEAR..." 
was introduced in 1906 while it was redesigned to 
the form of this example in 1910.
It was awarded to school students who managed to 
attend school every time the school was opened 
during a complete school year. In addition to 100% 
attendance record the pupil had to achieve above 
standard grades and certified good conduct 
during the school year in question. 
While initially no absence was tolerated for the 
award, student absence due to certified illness 
was eliminated as disqualification reason since 
1907.
A total of 10 grades of the medal were introduced 
to be awarded for each subsequent year of 
spotless attendance record but in 1908 the medals 
for the 10th and 11th year were eliminated and the 
awards for the 8th and 9th year became similar to 
the one for the 7th but were produced in silver.
