We recently wrote to parents and carers about the partnership school has entered into with the SMART mobile phone use pilot, in collaboration with the Age of Wonder Project.
The BBC visited school as part of this work to speak with students and understand their experiences with mobile phone use. Our students spoke honestly, passionately and with a great deal of maturity with the colleagues who joined us in school. We are very proud of their engagement with the project.
The BBC have written about some of those experiences and what they heard from students at Appleton Academy, which you can read in this article: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdxpkxl5wqgo
