Showcasing your smartphone free school at open evening
[.style-intro] Open evening is your chance to answer a question almost every family is already asking: does starting secondary mean getting a smartphone? [.style-intro]
It is one of the earliest opportunities to set out where you stand with incoming families, to celebrate what you have built, and to show what that environment gives your students.
Setting the expectation early matters all the more if your policy is under review this year. And it shows parents you want to work in partnership with them on a question most of them are already worrying about.
So we have pulled together editable resources to help you showcase what your school does best.
