Mobile Phone Protocol – Years 7 – 11
Thomas Mills High School & Sixth-Form is a phone free space. Any mobile devices must be stored securely, lockers are available. Students in years 7-11 cannot have phones with them and if a phone is seen – including in pockets – the phone will be confiscated and a detention will be given.
Confiscated phones will need to be collected by a parent during school office hours (8.30 – 4.00).
Students are allowed to have their phones for travel to and from school. We realise that mobile devices can benefit some of our most vulnerable pupils during their journeys to and from school.
Our 6th form students are privileged to have more freedom with their phones and are allowed to use them in the 6th form centre. Outside of that area the same rules apply as for all other students.
Our mobile phone policy has drawn national attention and has been reported on by BBC Newsround – see the link below.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Student Services.
