As part of our ongoing efforts to best prepare Yr 6 children for the upcoming transition to secondary school, we have reviewed and amended some guidelines related to mobile phone usage.
We are seeing an increase in the number of children breaking the school guidelines that were agreed at the beginning of the year. A copy of the consent form will be attached to this post as a reminder of the guidelines that both parent & child agreed to.
In line with the guideline: “Should your child be found using their phone inappropriately, the school reserves the right to withdraw this privilege and they will no longer be able to bring their phone into school.” we are now introducing a Mobile Phone Licence for those children who bring their phone to school.
Should a child be found to be using their phone on the school grounds, they will receive a mark on the licence card, after 3 marks the child will lose the right to bring their mobile phone to school for 6 weeks.
Children will be issued with their mobile phone licence at the start of next week and are expected to be responsible for it at all times. Teachers will speak to the children to explain how this new system will work. Should you have any questions, please contact a member of the Yr 6 team.
Many thanks.
