At The Holgate Academy, we follow the principles laid out in the Trust behaviour policy (section 2.7). We expect mobile phones and other devices to never hinder learning or contribute to disruption, bullying or abuse. We operate our local arrangements in accordance with the latest Department for Education guidance on use of mobile phones in schools.
Measures are put in place during the school day to mitigate the risks of distraction and misuse, with incidents addressed through standard sanctions, which may include confiscation.
