Change in Mobile Phone and Wearable Device Policy November 2021
Smart watches/devices which take photos or connect to the internet or sendmessages not allowed in school. This is because they are a distraction andmay interrupt learning. However, basic fit watches that track steps and activityare.
The reason we have made a slight change is, post covid, more parents are keen to help theirchild increase their fitness levels so we have allowed fitness trackers to be worn.
Please see full policy here:
