'Otley Smartphone Free - It's Great to Wait!'

We are part of the parent-led 'Otley Smartphone Free - It's Great to Wait' campaign! If you would like to join the growing number of parents who want to delay buying a smartphone for their child, please click HERE.

We do not allow children to have phones in school. If there is a reason your child needs access to their own phone either before or after school, they will need to sign it in at the office. If you are considering buying a phone, please consider investing in a 'brick' phone. Brick phones have been chosen by parents for the following reasons, some of which may resonate with you too:

  • Limited features: Primarily designed for calls and SMS.
  • Basic interface: Simple navigation and user interface.
  • Lack of internet access: No web browsing, app downloads, or social media integration.
  • Durable build: Often robust and built to last.
  • Good battery life: Typically have longer battery life than smartphones.
  • Examples: Older Motorola, Nokia, or other early mobile phones.
