Mobile Phones
Can I please gently remind you that we do not allow children below Y4 to have mobile phones in school.
Even for children in Y5/6 if they are collected or walk home a small distance with friends there is no need for them to bring a phone.
In a very few cases where a child in Y5/6 walks home a longer way and is not met, we understand you may feel happier if they have a phone. In those cases the phone should be switched off and handed to their teacher until the end of the day.
If a child is found with their phone during the day they will no longer be allowed to bring a phone.
I was concerned last week when I was on the gate at the end of the day. I saw a number of our Y5/6 so preoccupied with their phones as they left they were not paying enough attention to where they were walking and the roads.
We thank you for your support with this matter.
