I think they are addictive and some pupils are anxious when they are not available. Surely that’s not good or healthy for them.

I would ban phone use in class time unless a teacher wishes to use these rather than iPads. Teaching children to be separated from their devices is important too.

I think they are hindering social interaction

Every young person circumstances are different. If one helps care for a family member then how could this be banned. Alternatively they are held in a locker of theirs unless granted permission in day. Phones could be available for pupils who leave the school during lunch for example.

Pupils now do not need to use phones to access learning perhaps as they did in the past thanks to ipads. I think we would benefit from pupils handing phones in at the start of the day/class

Pros: learning about responsible use (can still be done without having them btw), can be used on buses (pupils could still have them for this)

Cons: Distractability, sharing photos taken in school, getting damaged

Wouldn’t go for an outright ban. Need to have consistent approach across the school about where and when the pupils are allowed to usethem

I think we would all benefit with a reduction in our use of mobile phone.

I would ban them as they have full access to their iPads in class. So they can access internet etc. For our young people a massive part of learning is about communication and social confidence. It makes me sad when I see them on their own on their phones at lunchtime.

iPads can be used instead of phones and staff can see what they are doing on them.

Given that our young people have the use of iPads for learning, I don’t think mobiles are required in school. The only place for phones in learning would be Pokémon Go!

I am concerned as I think many young people are addicted to them and are anxious without them.

Concern around Mobile Phones in changing rooms, with those who use snap chat also. Pupils also need privacy to change, but how do we ensure that phones aren’t out and being used inappropriately. Many come with their phones out and we ask them to be put away…

Too much overspill of community/ out of school issues have to be picked up in school.

Teach them to use the safely.

banned!

Don’t feel pupils need these in school as iPads can be used for digital education purposes.

# data[].attributes.body
Clearer boundaries are needed, I don’t think they should be allowed during lessons but I think they should be able to have it in their bag just in case of emergency when getting home etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Those who don’t have phones won’t feel left out if no-one else had phones in school if they were banned.

Pros - responsibility

Cons - distraction

Allows pupils to focus more in class
