Our policy has been embedded for 6 years. It is exceptionally rare for phones to be ever seen during the school day.

Additional policy features:

- We limit smartphone use on school trips,

- We never ask children to use smartphones for lesson related activities or otherwise,

- We actively engage with parents and children to educate on the downside of smartphones,

- We are excellent at implementing our policy
