Mobile phones are not required in school and therefore should not be brought to school.  If a parent feels that a student needs to bring a mobile phone to school, permission should be sought from the Headteacher by letter or telephone call before the phone comes to school.  If permission is granted, the pupil will give the phone into the safe keeping of their teacher on arrival at school, to prevent loss, damage or theft.  The phone will be returned to the student at the end of the day.
