Hammersmith Academy

We enjoyed welcoming @leicesterliz and @SciTechgovuk to the Academy to discuss how we prevent students from being distracted by mobile phones and social media. Students can focus on learning and forming meaningful relationships with peers.

@leicesterliz We can confirm the phone was in the pouch! Thank you for facilitating this very important discussion and taking the time to talk to parents, students, staff and governors. We all want our young people to learn and develop in a positive and healthy environment.

I really enjoyed visiting Hammersmith Academy yesterday and seeing first-hand how reducing screen time is helping pupils focus and learn. (And yes, I did put my phone in a pouch too)

📱 Less screen time, more focus? Tech Secretary @leicesterliz visited @HammersmithAcad to see Yondr pouches in action - hearing how they’re impacting behaviour and learning.
