--- title: "Phone Free School" url: "https://great-sankey-high-school.schudio.com/information/phone-free-school" school: "Great Sankey High School" --- # Phone Free School In June 2026, Great Sankey High School implemented a phone-free policy to enhance teaching and learning. We introduced a phone pouch system, a proven method adopted by thousands of schools in 35 countries to foster an engaged learning environment. Every student secures their phone in a personally assigned phone pouch during Form Time. Students maintain possession of their phones but are not able to use them until their pouches are opened at the end of the school day. This initiative creates a learning space where students can truly thrive, free from the distractions of mobile phones and and social media. Schools that have implemented phone pouches report significant improvements in student wellbeing, academic performance, classroom engagement, and social connection. We believe this initiative greatly benefits our students and contributes to a more focused and enriching educational experience.
