We Need to Talk About Mobile Phones

The debate over whether schools should implement a strict mobile phone ban or defer the decision to parents is a highly contested one. At the Royal Grammar School we are keen to explore all sides of the argument before implementing any change of policy. The opinions on young people’s phone use can be polarising, and it is important to approach the topic with balance and perspective both inside and outside of school.

As part of this, we are inviting parents and carers to a webinar run by Action Your Potential's Andrew Wright on Tuesday 9 December at 20.00. The webinar will be an evidence-based look at mobile phones, mental health and the real digital risks and benefits of smart phone use.

To hear more about what the webinar will involve, please watch this short video. To sign up to attend, please visit this link.

There will be an opportunity to ask questions to the Action Your Potential team at the end of the presentation.

In the spirit of kindness and compassion, we are holding our annual Christmas Jumper Day on Thursday 11 December, which is aligned with Save the Children’s Christmas jumper fundraiser.

We encourage students to wear a festive jumper and donate what they can; any amount is appreciated. Payments will be collected as cash or card during form tutor registration.

Your donation has a powerful impact: £2 could provide seeds for a family in Kenya, or a collective £160 could help train a psychological first-aider for children in war-torn countries.

Thank you for your support this Christmas. Together, we can make the world better with a sweater.
