No Phone Policy

At Redbridge International School, we are committed to fostering a learning environment that supports focus, well-being, and social connection. Our No Phone Policy reflects this commitment and aims to reduce unnecessary distractions while encouraging mindful technology use.

Mobile Phones

Only Secondary School students who leave school independently may request permission to bring a mobile phone. This is solely to enable contact in case of an emergency while travelling alone.

• Students must hand in their phones at the school entrance each morning.
• Phones are stored securely in individual class storage boxes.
• Devices are returned to students at the end of the school day.

Mobile phones may not be used during school hours, including after school clubs. If a student remains on school grounds after 4:00 p.m., phones may be collected from reception, but must not be used until the student has left school premises.

Smart Watches and Connected Devices

Smart watches and all other connected personal devices are not permitted during the school day. These are equally handed to the classroom teacher or tutor at the start of the day and collected at the end.

Student Access to Communication

Students who do not have phones and need to contact a parent during the school day (e.g. for collection arrangements) can do so through the school office.
