School case studies and testimonials
Hear directly from teachers about experiences with AV1 in their classrooms
AV1 supports student wellbeing in equal measure to their studies
The AV1 at Copnor Primary School was used to support a student shielding since March 2020. The AV1 enabled them to feel part of the class and be vocal during lessons.
– Beth Eddy, Copnor Primary School, PortsmouthIf the student didn’t have access to the AV1 she would be completely cut off from her friends. The AV1 provides her with purpose for the day, and allows her to get the support she needs from a teacher and from her classmates.
Brixworth CEVC Primary School have used AV1 with three of their pupils over the past two years. These included pupils with medical conditions that impacted on their ability to attend school as well as a pupil who was experiencing debilitating anxiety.
– Sharon Marsh, Brixworth CEVC Primary, BrixworthThe connection that AV1 ensured between home and school was invaluable. These pupils enjoyed maintaining their relationships with their peers, accessing learning at a level they could manage.
AV1 helps students engage and contribute in lessons
Broadland High adopted a couple of AV1s to help with the ever-increasing number of pupils suffering with anxiety in the school.

AV1 supports a smooth transition back into school
Gillingham School have used 7 AV1s over the last year for a variety of reasons including students shielding due to vulnerabilities at home and their own health reasons.
– Pete Alborough, Gillingham School, DorsetAV1s will continue to have a role to play in our school beyond the current pandemic. We envisage that AV1 could help students with mental health or anxiety concerns. Students would be able to continue to attend lessons from a quiet, safe space, whilst maintaining interaction in their class, with a view to reintegrating back into the classroom when they are able to.
AV1 offers a fuller school experience than other remote options
Before using the AV1 the student at Newbridge Junior School had no real link to the classroom. The biggest impact was that it allowed friendships to continue and allowed the child to still feel part of school life.
– Jack Jones, Newbridge Junior School, PortsmouthThe security of AV1 is a big selling point, and the fact it is so maneuverable. I think in terms of supporting student wellbeing, both for the user and the classmates, AV1 is a much more impactful tool than other video-conferencing options.
Star Primary were previously using Google meet to help their student access lessons. Now, with the AV1, the student is able to engage in all areas of the curriculum, not just core subjects. The student has even taken part in PE lessons using the AV1.
– Teacher, Star Primary, LondonWe think the AV1 is absolutely excellent in including our pupil in all aspects of the school day and maintaining social interactions with peers and teachers.
