Code of Conduct:
Mobile phone & Bus Information

Mobile Phone Information

Mobile phones are not allowed in school. If students bring them, they must be switched off and kept in their bags all day.

The school accepts no responsibility for phones, AirPods or jewellery that are lost or stolen on school premises, during school visits or while travelling to and from school.

‍

Phones must remain inside bags and completely switched OFF at all times. Silent or vibrate mode may still result in confiscation.

‍

If parents/carers need to contact you urgently, they should phone the school office and a message will be given to you. If you need to contact your parent/carer, you may use a school phone, NOT your own mobile.

‍

If students use their mobile phone during the school day, it will be confiscated and it will only be returned to the student from the school office at the end of the day.

‍
