Secondary schools which impose an effective ban on smartphones are also twice as likely to be rated outstanding by Ofsted as the national average, the report says.
Schools which effectively ban mobile phones get better GCSE results than those with 'laxer policies', a study has found. The Policy Exchange, a centre-right think tank, also said in its report that secondary schools in England where such a ban was in place were more than twice as likely to be rated outstanding by Ofsted as the national average.
The Policy Exchange paper has called on the government to carefully monitor whether or not schools are implementing effective bans on phones, and it recommends that the guidance should be made 'statutory and binding' if the situation does not improve within a year. Ofsted should also carry out thematic work to understand barriers to adoption of bans and how they have been overcome, the report added.
