As you may have seen on social media, there is a growing movement amongst parents to support a campaign called “Smartphone-Free Childhood”. You can find out more by clicking these links:

The school has taken the decision to not allow pupils to have smartphones from September 2025. As Headteachers in St Albans, we have committed to promoting our own schools as smart-phone free. We believe we can all work together across St Albans and join the growing movement across the country to change the ‘normal’ age that children are given smartphones.
