A note on outcome figures
Figures published elsewhere on this site — attainment uplift, CPD engagement, absence reduction — are drawn from pilot deployments and simulations rather than the full customer base, and are labelled as such where they appear. They have not been independently evaluated. Schools and trusts should request methodology and sample during procurement, and treat any vendor unwilling to provide them accordingly — including this one. If you are citing Edves in research or a procurement document, this page is the source of record. Corrections: contact us.
