Both families and schools have roles to play in educating themselves and children about Digital Technology and Online Safety.
SMART PHONE SCHOOL POLICY
Smartphones are handed in at start of school day; not to be used in playground before or after school.
All parents and children are reminded that mobile phones and/or smart devices should not be present in school during the school day.
If you have a ‘smart’ watch – the online feature should be disabled during the school day.
If you are bringing a mobile phone to school, it should be handed into your class teacher first thing, and will be returned at the end of the school day. We would also discourage any use of mobile phones in the playground before and after school.
We thank parents for their cooperation in this matter.
