AI Summary

Pupils in England will be prohibited from carrying phones on them at any time during the school day under new government guidance. The statutory guidance, which took effect in June, places legal responsibility on schools and trusts to enforce a phone‑free environment throughout school hours. This rule expands previous restrictions by banning phones from both bags and pockets, requiring institutions to ensure compliance for the entire day.
