Personal Devices

Gretton School asks all learners to submit their mobile phones and any other devices that they bring from home to staff upon arrival at school each morning. The phones and devices will be safely stored and returned to the learners at the end of the school day before they go home, to enable their use for the learners’ return journey.

 

Our school policy aligns with the latest guidance from the government on safeguarding children in educational settings which emphasises the importance of managing and monitoring children's use of technology to protect them from online risks. Learners will still have time on their Chromebooks, through which we are better able to monitor content and manage the impact on learning. In addition to mobile phones, this policy includes all technical devices where there is web access or gaming features, such as smart watches and personal gaming devices. We value our communities support in enabling us to maintain this policy.
