Lockers

There is a £5 fee for a locker each year. The lockers will be used to support our non-mobile phone policy as a secure place to store mobile phones and Bluetooth devices during the day, in addition to storing Chromebooks, exercise books, PE kits and outdoor coats.

Mobile Phones

Mobile phones must be be switched off and placed in the child’s locker at the start of the day. If a mobile phone is visible, it will be confiscated. Any mobile phone which is confiscated will be available for pupils to collect at the end of the school day. We do not allow the use of mobile devices in school. In the case of emergency and you need to contact your child during the school day, please ring our switchboard and we can pass on a message. This also avoids children needing to look at their phone during the school day, which could lead to a sanction.
