Tackling the Mobile Phone Challenge in Schools
Mobile phones are part of modern life and can be integrated positively into the school curriculum, but they can be also be one of the greatest barriers to concentration in the classroom.
Even when “banned”, phones often remain in pockets, distracting students and consuming valuable teaching time.
Research shows the impact:
A Policy Exchange study found that schools with effective phone bans were more than twice as likely to be rated Outstanding by Ofsted.
GCSE outcomes were equivalent to 1–2 grades higher in these schools compared to peers in schools with looser policies.
Excessive mobile use is linked to poorer attainment, reduced wellbeing, and disrupted sleep patterns (University of Birmingham, 2025).
Policies alone aren’t enough. Enforcement is the missing piece.
Controlled School Solution
Clario is a simple, secure signal blocking pouch system that ensures phones are out of sight and out of mind during lessons.
At the start of the day or class, students place their phones into the Clario pouch.
The signal blocking pouch locks securely, preventing access.
Phones stay with the student, avoiding arguments about confiscation or liability.
At break, lunch, or home time, unlocking devices positioned outside the phone free zone, can be used by students to unlock their pouches.
The process is quick, fair, and consistent — no grey areas, no exceptions.
DfE guidance on mobile phones in schools
Every school has a duty to create an environment that is calm, safe and free from distraction so all pupils, whatever their background, can learn and thrive. One of the greatest challenges facing schools is the presence of mobile phones.
Today, by the age of 12, 97% of pupils own a mobile phone
The Department of Education (DfE) provide guidance for schools on prohibiting the use of mobile phones throughout the school day.
