Helping Our Children Grow, Learn and Connect

At our school, we support the idea of Smartphone Free Childhood.

Primary school years should be filled with:

🌳 Outdoor play
📚 Curiosity and learning
👫 Strong friendships
🎨 Creativity and imagination

By delaying smartphones, we help children focus on what matters most during these important years.

Why This Matters

🧠 Better Focus

Children concentrate better in school without constant digital distractions.

😴 Healthier Sleep

Limiting screens helps children develop better sleep habits.

👥 Stronger Friendships

Children build confidence through real-world conversations and play.

🌿 More Active Childhoods

Less screen time means more time for sports, hobbies and creativity.

Our School Approach

📵 Smartphones should not be brought into school.

📞 If children need a phone when travelling, we encourage basic phones without internet access.

💻 Children still learn about digital safety and responsible technology use through computing and PSHE lessons.
