Personal Devices

Our policy on phones and Smart Watches is; all phones and internet capable devices to be handed into the office when students arrive at school.  This has been very successful and has ensured no student is texting, phoning or accessing data on school grounds.

As technology moves rapidly, we have to maintain this security for all our students.  I have noticed some new wrist devices arriving that have various capabilities e.g. cameras and messaging.

Logistically, it is not possible for staff to monitor modes on devices and keep up to date with what each device can do during the school day.  Therefore, it is important that any device capable of photography and or communication remains at home or is handed into the school office during the school day.
