Headteacher Katharine Birbalsingh reacts to a new report that suggests pupils hand in or lock up their phones at the start of each day as an “effective ban” may have a positive impact on a school’s performance.
Criticism from parents, children or campaigners should not deter school staff from consistently enforcing mobile phone bans, according to a paper by centre-right think tank Policy Exchange.
An effective phone ban offers “potential benefits” for school performance and pupil attainment, as well as children’s wellbeing, the report said.
It comes after schools in England were given Government guidance in February intended to stop the use of mobile phones during break and lunch periods in schools, as well as in lessons.
Katharine says “Children aren't mature enough to deal with it"
