Mobile phones cause unnecessary distraction and disruption within the classroom. Most pupils in this school depend 100% totally on what is both taught and learnt within the classroom- little if any effective study is completed in most of their homes. Having use of a mobile phone to such pupils is further diminishing their willingness and capability to learn. We need a total mobile ban for their own sakes.

(Sarah)I agree that mobiles should not be seen on the corridors or used in classrooms  (they will say they are checking the time but if the clock is correct they should have no excuse). I have been saying to students to put their phones away on corridors (while walking to class) and I either get cheek back or they say that no other teacher tells them to put them away? As an art teacher with no text book there are many students who will not do any homework, research. I should not have to do this as it is their homework but many say that they never do homework for any subject? it seems that many are exempt? so I give them 10 timed minutes at the beginning of class to send me images to print off to draw from. After that I call each one up to help them research.  It is also difficult when supervising a class when no work is left/ they have no text books so they think they can just sit on their phones. If its a page from a book to read if teachers could photograph the page/s/ email them to put up on the whiteboard for students to read? I have also have the unfortunate experience of a student recording me in class (verbally abusive behaviour from a student when told to put a can of redbull away) and sharing this recording with other students without my  knowledge until the next day...

100% in support of a ban. Juniors are causing unnecessary disruption to classes and the office by contacting home during class to be collected. A ban would lead to less announcements even though I think I have a nice voice

A locker screwed to the wall where students place their phones and look after the key would mean they are dealt with before the phone even comes into the classroom.

Get rid! Phones are not necessary for lessons. A 5 minute Kahoot is not worth the constant battle of asking them to get off their phones. They need to learn how to interact with one another in person rather than through messaging apps

School is for learning & phones is just a distraction which is the root cause off most behaviours.

Perhaps a rule change to say if a student uses a phone and uses the line ' my mam was contacting me' then they should be sent home as that can show parents that they need to use the office to contact a child

They don't need them. Should not be seen. Too distracting and holds back progress for a lot of students. Need to have clear sanctions in place.

I do not understand why there is ANOTHER discussion about this. Did we (the staff) not agree last year that mobile phones would be banned??

Target juniors first, 3 year plan to make sure juniors do not use their phones

Students also use their phones to organize meetups with their friends while they should be in class. They can also use their device to take pictures and videos of staff and peers without consent.

They are losing out on classwork, refusing to complete work.

Students are looking at their screens for a long time after school. School is the only place where they can get a break a break from looking at those screens.
