Update 21st April 2021 - Mobile Phones
Dear parents and carers,
You may have seen news stories over Easter which suggest the government is banning mobile phones in schools. ‘The Star’ ran a story suggesting this on April 7th. Find a link to this story below:
The Minister in charge of Education, Gavin Williamson, has said that mobile phones not only get in the way of “exercise and good old-fashioned play”, but also incite cyber bullying and the inappropriate use of social media.
At Chaucer School, we are currently reviewing our stance on mobile phones. We will be gathering the views of parents and carers, the children and young people themselves, and our staff body.
Rest assured that Chaucer School will make decisions in the best interests of the children and young people in our care. We will always act to promote safety, well-being and academic progress.
Over the coming weeks we will be sharing lots of information regarding the safe and productive use of mobile phones. We look forward to working with you on this, and thank you in advance for your ongoing support and commitment.
If you have any questions or comments, please do respond to our Parental Voice Survey above. Should you wish to discuss this further, get in touch with Mr Hammonds – Assistant Headteacher for Teaching, Learning and Engagement – at This email address is being protected from spambots.
