Isle of Wight council will give a free family ticket and a certificate to pupils in Ryde who complete a full term without missing a day of school.
The council hopes the project will help improve attendance and also encourage parents to make sure their children don’t miss school.
Alan Wells, cabinet member for children and young people at the council, said: “Ice skating is a very popular activity with young people and students knowing they can access free skating is a great incentive. This is all about rewarding those who make the effort in the classroom every day of term.”
The council is working with Planet Ice, which owns the Ryde ice arena, to run the scheme.
