I am aware that some of our year 6 children are beginning to walk to and from school alone in preparation for secondary school. We would like to let you know of a change of policy regarding mobile phones in school.
Children in year 6 will be able to bring a mobile phone into school following the receipt of a parent permission slip. We will be seeking permission from the parent first to ensure families are fully aware the child’s phone is coming into school.
Children will deposit their phones with their teacher when they enter the building and collect them at the end of the day. All phones must be switched off whilst on school premises. No unauthorised phones will be allowed, they will be taken for safe keeping and parents or carers will be contacted. Permission letters to year 6 parents will follow.
