The use of mobile phones on the Academy site during the normal hours of the Academy day, including breaks and lunchtime, is forbidden.

If families feel that it is necessary for students to carry mobile phones, such phones must be kept securely hidden in bags and must be switched off.

If a phone is used, seen or heard during the Academy day it will be confiscated for seven working days.

Any further breach of this rule will lead to the confiscation of the phone for a further seven working days, disciplinary action and the requirement for a parent of carer to collect the phone from the academy by appointment.
