Attendance has a huge impact on a child. Children who attend school regularly excel in all aspects of learning, development and social interactions. They also gain hands-on experience, which is essential for developing important life skills. Children with poor attendance are often anxious due to missing out on learning and having to catch up and this can have a huge impact on their social interactions. They are also children who generally require extra intervention to support with reading, phonics and maths skills.

Denbighshire policy is that no term time holiday will be authorised. Where families are taking regular term time holidays Fixed Penalty fines will be issued.
