MOBILE PHONE BAN
Following the successful conclusion of our ‘soft’ mobile phone ban, a more stringent ban will come into place on January 6th 2020 as previously planned and communicated.
This means that all students must have their phones switched off, in their bags, at all times whilst on the school site, or risk confiscation of the device.
The full policy can be found here.
Many thanks for your support in assisting us to implement this policy, which we hope will benefit students and staff both academically and pastorally.
