Our CEO Tom Rees was on BBC News Breakfast this morning explaining more about our approach to smartphone-free schools in the trust, and the approaches being taken in schools to support better learning, wellbeing and mental health.

Our vision is for a school system where every child can thrive.

Learning, behaviour and wellbeing are top priorities in our schools, but all can be impacted negatively by smartphones.

We want to reduce the risks associated with smartphones in our schools and give young people the freedom to learn, play and socialise without the distraction and social pressures that phones and social media can bring.

This autumn, a quarter of our secondary schools are piloting different approaches to ensure that pupils experience a smartphone-free school day. One of our schools has operated like this for a number of years and the approach is really successful and popular with both parents and students.

We know our schools are at different stages of this journey and that changes will happen over time. Where there are changes made to our schools’ policies, these will always be made in consultation with parents and the school community. Although we are a national trust, we value the local context of each school and the importance of the relationship between schools and their communities.

We’ve been grateful to learn from other schools and trusts and their work in this area including The John Wallis Church of England Academy and Smartphone Free Childhood. As we progress with this project, we’re committed to sharing what we learn with others in the sector.

This week, we welcomed Education Editor Richard Adams from The Guardian to Tenbury High Ormiston Academy to talk about their approach and we’re pleased to share their story, along with the work taking place at Official Cowes Enterprise College.

We’re recruiting for a Senior Lead Practitioner for English.

We know that a high-quality curriculum, delivered by expert teachers, is key to making this happen.

We’re hiring for a national role to lead curriculum development across our trust, impacting over 35,000 pupils. As a specialist in your field, you will ensure that we have a high quality English curriculum in all of our schools, with all teachers having the subject knowledge and pedagogical skills to bring the curriculum to life. You will also lead on the trust’s important focus area: reading, and our ambition for all of our pupils to be reading at or above their chronological reading age.
