Dear Headteacher,

It looks like our school qualifies to appear on the list of registered smartphone free schools. There's an explanation of the levels here: smartphonefreelist.org/levels-explained.

It is free to register, and all you need to do is search for the school in the map, click 'register (schools)' and fill out the form: https://www.smartphonefreerating.org/map

Once registered, the school will be given 'smartphone free' logos to use on the website, and have a full profile page to showcase the detail of what's excellent about the smartphone policy.

Because smartphones are such a big concern for parents at the moment, this is a way that schools can show that they have good smartphone policies. You can take a look at the schools so far here, and also find smartphone policies for other schools - smartphonefreelist.org/map

There are also some useful research papers here: smartphonefreelist.org/research.
