Screen time policy

It is important that students keep in touch with their family during their time at Dean Close but it is also important they are able to make the most of their time in lessons, activities, and through face to face interaction with other students. Mobile phones are kept in the boarding houses during lessons and afternoon activities. Students have access to them from dinner time onwards and also on all excursions. Students from countries where timezones make it difficult to keep in touch with family will have special dispensation to call during lunch time and in the afternoon.
