Mobile Devices

There is no requirement for pupils to bring their mobile phones or other smart devices into school. They will not be required for any learning activity. If pupils do bring in their mobile phones, then it is on the condition that they are never used, seen or heard across the school site. The only exception is for emergency use to call 999. The school day includes off-site supervised trips and activities unless the supervisor explicitly allows their use. However, the school accepts that parents may wish their child to have a device for emergency contact out of school hours such as on their journeys to and from school. Parents who need to contact their child during the school day should only use the office number – 01235 524060. The school has provided in this policy for certain exemptions when mobile phones may be used.
