Catching up with Portobello High School 5 months on from banning mobile phones in school

Portobello High School and Queensferry High School were the first secondary schools in Scotland to pilot a zero-phone policy, with Portobello High School becoming phone-free starting on 7 May and Queensferry High School introducing the policy on 14 May - with young people required to store their phones in pouches at the start of each school day.

All learners from S1 to S6 will be responsible for storing mobile phones in secure and lockable Yondr pouches during the school day. The storage pouches are locked and un-locked magnetically, with phones remaining in the pupilsâ€™ possession throughout the school day.

The phone-free policy has been introduced following extensive engagement with pupils and parents and carers over a six-month period, with focus groups meeting to discuss the policy and 86% of parents and carers of children attending Portobello High School positively supported the introduction of the policy.
