The UK Government has confirmed that, under new legislation, all schools in England are now required by law to be mobile phone-free during the school day. This means students should not have access to mobile phones during lessons, between lessons, or at break and lunchtime, in line with national guidance.

This change puts children’s wellbeing and learning first. Research shows that phone-free schools support better focus, positive behaviour, improved wellbeing, and stronger face-to-face social interactions.

At Chase Terrace Academy, we are always looking for ways to strengthen our procedures to support students’ wellbeing, and with ways to ensure their learning time is protected. School and home working together in partnership provides a positive platform for us all to support young people. Please can we ask for your support in talking to your young people at home, and reminding them to ensure their phones are off whilst in school, and not a distraction to the important routines of the school day.
