Attendance
Attended lesson means schools are meeting theit duty to provide education for all pupils.
Inclusion
Adapted environments mean all pupil gets the same experience, even if they aren't there physically.
Belonging
Pupils stay socially connected to friends and school life, easing isolation.

Tuition and Alternative Provision (AP) has it's place but is costly and limited; AV1 eases that pressure.

What schools and local authorities say
"It's a great way of reintegrating and allowing them to get used to being back in the classroom, accessing the lessons, speaking to teachers"
"The alternative is paying for these children to go to Alternative Provision. In actual fact the use of AV1 for that time limited period is so much more effective for schools."
How Wakefield Is Transforming School Attendance with AV1
Wakefield, like local authorities across the UK, have a statutory duty to provide education for every child, but frequently find it impossible with the funding and resources and available to them.
To ensure no child falls through the cracks, Wakefield Council adopted a joined-up approach using AV1 as the central bridge for connection.
Students who were not attending at all now have 100% attendance due to their use of AV1.
