Residential Visits

THE USE OF MOBILE PHONES ON RESIDENTIAL TRIPS

Sholing Junior School does not permit the use of personal mobile phones by pupils on residential trips. Not only is the unmonitored use of a mobile phone by a child a safeguarding concern, but it can cause great distress for children suffering from homesickness to speak to a parent whilst they are away from home, and it often makes matters worse. Any phones discovered will be confiscated and returned on arrival back at school.
