We are proud of our smartphone policy because:
Delaying smartphone use for children can help them develop essential life skills, reduce mental health issues, and protect them from harmful online content and cyberbullying. Early smartphone exposure can lead to addiction, sleep disruption, and decreased social skills, potentially impacting their emotional and mental well-being.
Additional policy features:
- We actively engage with parents and children to educate on the downside of smartphones, - We actively minimise the need for smartphones when completing homework, enabling alternatives where possible
