For pupils who are too unwell to attend school in person, we may also offer the use of the AV1 robot—a secure, interactive tool that allows them to stay connected with their classroom in real time. The AV1 robot acts as the pupil’s "eyes and ears" in the classroom, enabling them to listen, observe, and even participate in lessons from home or hospital. This provision helps maintain educational engagement, reduces isolation, and supports a smoother reintegration when the pupil is well enough to return to school. This would typically be used when remote learning is appropriate, but the child or school wish for them to remain engaged directly with the home school.
