School attendance in Monmouthshire has not returned to pre-pandemic levels. Since the pandemic many families have stopped sending their children to school regularly. Overall attendance in 2024/25 showed some improvement, but recovery remains incomplete. The Welsh Government issued new guidance two years ago in response to rising concerns about pupil attendance. Persistent absences continue to affect local education outcomes and indicate ongoing challenges in reestablishing routine school participation. Targeted measures and continued monitoring are needed to address barriers to regular attendance and to support families in ensuring consistent school attendance for children.
