 They must NOT be used in school unless with the express permission of a member of staff
 The reasons for not having mobiles in school are manifold – pupils taking inappropriate photos around school of themselves, other pupils or staff, pupils texting each other, phones ringing in lessons and pupils ringing home for inappropriate reasons.
