Mobile Phones & Smart Watches in school
We know some parents feel it important their child have their own mobile phone, and some children may be given a 'Smart Watch'. Children may not use their mobile phone at any time during the school day at our school. Smart Watches with access to internet/phone services or the ability to record images/sounds/videos are also not permitted.
Children in Year 5 and Year 6 with permission to walk to/from school by themselves may bring a phone with them if needed. Children in other year groups should not bring a mobile phone to school (if they need to for any reason, please inform their classteacher).
All pupil phones must be switched off (not just on silent) and handed in at the start of the day. They can be collected from their classteacher at the end of the day. They should not be turned on until they leave the school site (playground gates).
Any phones or other belongings are brought to school at the owners' own risk - the school cannot accept any liability or responsibility for loss or damage incurred at school.
