# What is your policy on the use of laptops and mobile phones in school?

## Digital Wellbeing Strategy

We have a Digital Wellbeing Strategy, which was introduced to encourage good decisions in the use of mobile technology. 

Mobile phones will only be allowed to be used in Green Zones, and will be otherwise expected to be out of sight and not in use during the school day. All students in the Senior School will have a Surface device, so there is no need to use mobile phones for learning. No digital devices should be used in corridors, stairwells, or the Chapels.

Our IT Acceptable Use Policy for pupils can be found [here](https://www.berkhamsted.com/about-us/school-policies/).
