A school day with fewer digital distractions creates more opportunities for students to build friendships, take part in conversations, stay engaged in lessons and enjoy everything school has to offer.

Introducing Yondr phone pouches will help create even more opportunities for students to:

πŸ’¬ Connect with friends
🎯 Stay focused in lessons
😊 Enjoy a calmer school day
🌟 Get the very best from every learning opportunity

We're looking forward to introducing this positive change in September and thank you for your continued support.

From September, Noel-Baker Academy will be introducing Yondr phone pouches as part of our commitment to creating a calm, focused learning environment.

The pouches allow students to keep their phones with them during the school day, but securely locked away until the end of the day. Students will still have their phone with them, but it won't be a distraction during lessons or social times.

We've made this decision to help create an environment where students can:

πŸ“š Focus on learning without the distraction of mobile phones.
🀝 Spend more time talking and connecting with friends.
πŸ’™ Enjoy a calmer school day with less pressure from notifications and social media.

We know that many parents and carers will have questions about how this will work in practice, and that's completely understandable.

If you'd like to find out more about why we're introducing Yondr phone pouches, how they'll work, or what this means for your child, please take a look at the information on our website. We've also answered some of the questions we've been asked most often.
