A scalable, proven solution to reduce school non-attendance and promote learning equity across your trust
Persistent absence and widening attainment gaps continue to challenge MAT leaders nationwide. Ensuring consistent access to learning and inclusion across multiple schools remains a complex, resource-intensive task.
AV1 helps trusts address these challenges head-on – fulfilling statutory responsibilities while improving pupil outcomes. The telepresence robot keeps pupils connected to lessons, classmates, and school life when they can’t attend in person – maintaining engagement and supporting a smooth return to the classroom.
By introducing AV1 across your schools, MAT leaders can:
Tackle persistent absence
across vulnerable groups with a scalable, cost-efficient solution
Protect learning continuity
and equal access for pupils with health-related or SEND needs
Enable early intervention
to prevent long-term disengagement and learning loss
Support confident reintegration
after periods of extended absence
Strengthen equity and inclusion
across all schools in the trust
Meet statutory responsibilities
to each school efficiently and consistently
Lead with innovation
AV1 costs significantly less than other alternative provision

“AV1 is a game-changer for our students. It enables those who would otherwise be left behind to experience the full classroom dynamic, maintain their learning progress, and eventually reintegrate into daily school life.”
“We even use AV1 on site, for those who struggle with large, busy, sensory overload environments. A pupil can be in a safe space or room within school, and access an AV1 in their regular classroom.”

"We know nothing replaces face-to-face, but the next best option, in my experience, has been these robots. Attendance is key. “
Endorsed by the Department for Education
In 2019, the DfE funded 90 AV1 robots in the UK’s largest telepresence trial. The results were clear: pupil’s attendance, confidence, and reintegration all improved – 75% kept up with schoolwork and peers, and 50% reintegrated faster.
Building on that success, the 2023 DfE guidance formally recommends telepresence as a recognised way to keep pupils connected to school and curriculum – exactly what AV1 delivers.
