A smartphone ban in English schools is coming into force. What's changing?

A new ban on smartphones is coming into force across all schools in England starting Monday. According to government guidance, schools must now ensure they are phone-free for the entire day. To guarantee compliance with these law changes, Ofsted inspectors will formally verify that every institution has established a clear policy and is consistently enforcing it. This measure aims to standardise the restriction of mobile devices within the educational environment across the country.
