Summary
Starting Monday, England’s schools face strict new smartphone bans under law — no phones, not even smartwatches, allowed during lessons or breaks. Enforced by Ofsted inspections, the goal? To give kids focused, distraction-free learning and the childhood they deserve. Schools can choose how to implement — hand-ins, switches off, or outright bans — with limited exceptions for medical needs. Tech should empower, not harm — and this law aims to make that reality.
