Mobile Phone Update
I would like to share with parents how we are storing and looking after the mobile phones during the school day. The image below is one of the Tutor cases that are being used daily to collect any phones that are brought into school by the pupils. The cases have foam padding with slots cut out that hold each mobile phone securely. Each member of the tutor group has an allocated slot into which they place their phone each morning, and retrieve it from at the end of the day. Each tutor has a different locked box, there isn't a universal key. The phones are safe and secure within each locker. They fit into each slot firmly and there is limited opportunity for damage to be caused. No pupils have access to these lockers, neither are they asked to fetch or carry them at any point.
Following the phone collection, each locker is then locked away further in a large locker by the admin. offices. If a pupil needs their phone for any reason during the day, or they leave earlier, they are collecting their phone from reception.
