King David High School - Mobile Phone Policy

When staff are referring to ‘Mobile Phones’ the school policy is very clear that this also includes; ear/head phones, smart watches, tablets and any Personal Electronic Device. Key Points for pupils and families to be aware of:

Pupils are not to have their phones on their person when in school (unless authorised for medical reasons) after 8.20am.
If a student does not have access to their locker their Mobile Phone must be handed into the school office for collection at the end of the school day
When entering the building:
- Pupils are not allowed to have their mobile phone visible.
- They must be placed into their locker prior to going into form class.
- Mobile Phones are not to be visible in the school atrium or any other area of school between 8.00am and 8.20am. (they will be confiscated if this is the case)
- Pupils will be allowed to go to their locker to place in their Mobile Phone from 8.20am
Any mobile phones that are seen in the possession of students or being used in school, for whatever reason, will be subject to the following:
- Mobile phone will be immediately confiscated (in the first instance) and held in the main office
- It will be returned to the pupil on the same day at 3.20pm (4.10pm on Thursdays) via their Head of Year or Pastoral Manager or through the school office
- All confiscations will be recorded as S4 mobile phone confiscation in accordance with the current school behaviour policy
- A second confiscation of a mobile phone will require a parent/carer to collect the phone from school.
- Any Confiscations after this will require collection from a parent/carer and will be viewed as a significant defiance of school rules and will be addressed in accordance with the school behaviour policy
If a pupil is required to contact home, they must do so through the school office. Parents/Carers are also required to do the same
