Pupil mobile phones
Pupils in years Nursery – 4 are not permitted to bring mobile phones into school.
Pupils in years 5 and 6 are allowed to bring mobile phones into school under the following circumstances:
- they walk to or from school without parents
- the phone is handed in to their class teacher when they arrive at school
- the phone is switched off when they arrive at school
- parents understand the phone is left at the owner’s own risk and school is not responsible for loss or damage
- pupil mobile phones will not be taken on school trips/visits
Where mobile phones are used in or out of school to bully or intimidate others, then the head teacher or DSL does have the power to intervene ‘to such an extent as it is reasonable to regulate the behaviour of pupils when they are off the school site.’
If you need your child to bring a mobile to school please speak to a member of staff in the office. You will need to sign to confirm you have read and understood this information.
