Why Become an Attachment Aware School?

There is growing evidence that whole-school, attachment-based strategies lead to:

• Reduced suspensions and exclusions

• Improved staff confidence and wellbeing

• Better outcomes for vulnerable and care-experienced pupils

The AASA helps your school reflect on and improve its culture — with personalised support from Educational Psychologists and the AfC Virtual School team.
