We are proud of our smartphone policy because:
At St Margaret’s CE Primary School, our Christian vision Created to Shine and our values of Love and Aspire guide how we create a safe, respectful, and flourishing learning environment. The use of mobile phones in school is managed in line with our commitment to safeguarding, wellbeing, and equity. This policy ensures that pupils can learn without distraction, that staff can maintain professional boundaries, and that the school environment reflects our values of love, respect, and aspiration.
Additional policy features:
- 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 actively minimise the need for smartphones when completing homework, enabling alternatives where possible, - We are excellent at implementing our policy
