In case you have not yet had the chance to read Springfield News, may we please draw your attention to Ms Spivey's reminder regarding the school's Mobile Phone Policy which is noted again below and includes a link to further information.

Mobile Phone Policy

Parents/Carers will recall that, although we allow students to bring mobile phones into school with them, the rule is that they are not to be seen or heard at any time on the school site.  We recommend that students turn them off when they arrive at school and store them securely in their bags until they have left the site at the end of the school day.  

The misuse of mobile phones creates a nuisance which interrupts learning and can contribute to online bullying.  We will be reminding students of the expectations regarding mobile phones at school and would be grateful of parents'/carers' support with explaining and reinforcing these expectations.  Now that some COVID19 restrictions have been withdrawn, we will be returning to usual procedures: 

Any pupil found to be using a mobile phone on the school site (or when a mobile phone 'sounds' in any way) will have the phone confiscated.  Parents will be required to make an appointment with a designated member of staff to have the phone returned. Refusal to hand over a mobile phone will result in a student being sent to isolation.

Of course, if urgent messages need to be relayed between parents/carers and their children during the school day, this can be managed via Reception and the Year Offices. 

Kindly note that the school cannot accept responsibility for mobile phones (or other items) that are lost stolen or damaged and so students bring these items into school at their own risk.
