Website:

We are proud of our smartphone policy because:

Our smartphone?free approach has helped reduce classroom disruptions, including a noticeable drop in unnecessary �toilet visits� that were often used as opportunities for quick phone?checking. What makes us most proud is how positively our school community has responded, with students generally on board and supportive of the new policy and parents absolutely loving the change.

Additional policy features:

- We limit smartphone use during after school clubs

- We limit smartphone use on school trips

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

- We are excellent at implementing our policy
