Eton College is the latest to ban pupils from taking smartphones to school – opting instead for a rather archaic option.
New year nine pupils, who turn 14 during the school year, will be given Nokia ‘brick’ phones which only make calls and send texts.
The £49,000 per year school wrote to parents about the new policy – and said if children have smartphones already, they should transfer their SIM cards to the school-issued phones.
