We are committed to creating an inclusive education system. Our additional learning needs reforms put learners at the heart of the process to identify and meet their needs and will help ensure that all pupils requiring additional support to meet an ALN have that support properly planned for and protected.

Attendance rates continue to improve with average attendance currently at 91.2 per cent, but challenges remain. My priority is to ensure that all children and young people have the opportunity to reach their potential, regardless of their background. Maintaining good attendance and engagement with children and their families is key to this.

We expect that the new statutory guidance for elective home education will be implemented in April 2023 and that, in doing so, it will bring a range of benefits to electively home-educated children and young people in Wales, including those in Denbighshire.
