Starting in June 2026,  Great Sankey High School is implementing a phone-free policy to enhance teaching and learning. We will be using a phone pouch system, a proven method adopted by thousands of schools in 35 countries to foster an engaged learning environment.

Every student will secure their phone in a personally assigned phone pouch during Form Time. Students will maintain possession of their phones but won't be 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 will greatly benefit our students and contribute to a more focused and enriching educational experience.
