Please complete the below online form, which should be completed in order for your child to bring their phone to school.

In addition, please read our school mobile phone policy, paying particular attention to section 4 (use of mobile phones by pupils) and section 6 (loss, theft or damage).

I agree to obey the following rules:

3. Phones must be handed to the class teacher on arrival into the classroom.

8. Don’t use your phone to send or receive anything that may be criminal.

9. Rules on bullying, harassment, and intimidation apply to how you use your mobile phone even when you aren’t in school.
