Mobile Device Permission

We recognise that mobile devices are part of modern everyday society and that many parents like their child to carry their phone with them for safety reasons and/or ease of contact. However, we are also aware that these items can be disruptive to learning or the smooth running of the school.  We, therefore, wish to ensure that mobile devices are not used in a negative way.

The school permits these items to be brought to school provided that the student and parent agree to uphold the rules below. Otherwise, mobile devices are forbidden. Students are responsible for the safe-keeping of their mobile devices in school unless this is handed in to a member of staff. Our advice is to always have a good, impact resistant case and to only have the device out when it is securely protected, for example when sitting down, out of the way and not in a group. For devices of a higher value, we would recommend that parents purchase insurance as the devices are easy to drop at any time, including outside of school.

Parents are asked to agree to these simple rules on their son/daughter's enrolment form. Where agreement is not given we will assume that a mobile devices will not be brought in to school.

Failure to comply with these simple rules will result in the mobile device being confiscated until the end of the school day. The pastoral Team will decide what further actions is needed to ensure there is no repeat.
