Today, we're delivering on our promise to ban mobile phones in schools:
Removing distractions in lessons
Creating an environment where children can focus on learning and building friendships
Bringing us in line with countries such as France, Italy & Portugal
We are backing headteachers with this new guidance, which will help schools show consistency and is something that will benefit pupils, teachers and parents.
As a teacher who has experienced this and as a parent, I welcome this new guidance on banning mobile phones in schools
