Y7-10 無得用 smartphones

https://www.oundleschool.org.uk/academic/digital-learning/

Our Digital Wellbeing Framework has proved successful in improving mobile phone usage and creating a better atmosphere in School. We want pupils to be able to settle and integrate with their peer groups as quickly as possible and have found that smartphones, which bring a multitude of social media apps into School, are not helpful.

In the First to Fourth Form, pupils may only bring a basic phone handset such as a Nokia 105 to School, rather than a smartphone. In the Fifth and Sixth Forms, smartphones are allowed within the existing School Rules for both boarding and day pupils.

Pupils in the First, Second and Third Forms are permitted a maximum of two devices in School: the School-issued Microsoft Surface and a basic mobile phone which is not internet enabled. Pupils in the Fourth Form may bring another device such as a laptop or a tablet for recreational purposes.

MOBILE PHONE USE

Our phone policy for girls in Years 7 and 8 is that they are not allowed smart phones with internet access in school. Instead they are allowed only a simple phone (which are cheap to purchase) that can make calls and send texts with a pay-as-you-go SIM or a Data-free Pay Monthly SIM.

The girls’ phones should have no internet access, so please choose a phone that doesn’t have a browser or WiFi connectivity.

There are many suitable models available at competitive prices from online retailers.

https://www.sherborne.com/admissions/faqs

What is the School’s mobile and tech usage policy?

All girls in Years 7 to 11 are asked to leave their mobile phones in the Boarding Houses during lesson time and to hand in their devices an hour before bedtime. They are however required to take a pen-enabled device (Microsoft Surface or tablet) to lessons to support their academic studies. By differentiating between the devices used for academic use and mobile phones for social use, the School aims to encourage correct use of tablets and laptops for learning and limit exposure to social media during the day.

16% A* at A Level or 7 at IB

76% A*- B at A Level or 7/6/5 at IB

https://www.fettes.com/post/~board/fettes-college/post/2023-international-baccalaureate-diploma-results

On Thursday 6th July, the 2023 International Baccalaureate Diploma results were released bringing excellent news for the 45 members of the Fettes Upper Sixth Form who have been following the IB pathway for the past two years. 

In 2023 IB examinations were sat without adaptations for the first time since 2019, and we are incredibly proud of the courage and resilience shown by all Fettesians following the Diploma. The IB has continued to flourish at Fettes and the cohort scored an impressive average score of 37 points, matching the cohort of 2019 and 2022.

A quarter of all candidates gained 40 points or more, with 50% gaining or exceeding a score of 38 points. Four of our students deserve a special mention – two achieving 42 points, one achieving an outstanding 43 points and one scoring an exceptional 44 points with 777 at Higher Level. One student also achieved a bilingual diploma.

Fettes College is proud to announce a very strong set of 2023 GCSE results with 24% of grades achieved by our students scoring a 9, in line with 2019, the last time that GCSEs were sat without any adaptations. 66% of all grades achieved were 9/8/7. There are many individual successes contained within the overall statistics and all students deserve much praise.

https://www.habsmonmouth.org/excellent-a-level-results-reflect-wide-range-of-subjects-and-professions/

Taking the English examination boards, results across the country have returned to 2019 grading levels. Despite this, Haberdashers’ Monmouth Schools’ results still showed an impressive 38.5% A*-A grades, well above the national average of 27.2%.

https://www.habsmonmouth.org/monmouth-boys-and-girls-return-strong-set-of-gcses/

At the boys’ school, a third of all grades were Grade 9-8, whilst at the girls’ school, the percentage of grades at the top level of 9 has risen to 22.2% and there was in increase in grades at 9-7 (or A*-A) to 58.7%. 

Downside School
https://www.downside.co.uk/about-us/public-exam-results/

SIXTH FORM HIGHLIGHTS 

Our Upper Sixth results were impressive, with 66% attaining A*- B, representing an upwards trajectory from both 2019 (the last set of public examinations pre-pandemic) and 2022. Given that grading had returned to 2019 levels in England this year, the achievements of the Upper Sixth are particularly pleasing. The number of pupils gaining an A* or A also exceeded the figures in 2019, and matched the 2022 cohort, where grade boundaries were mitigated in light of the COVID pandemic.

GCSE HIGHLIGHTS 

Downside pupils performed admirably in the GCSE examinations, with the grade boundaries now in line with the pre-covid 2019 results and set against a back-drop of a national drop in top grades. Our pupils can be proud of their achievements, and it was particularly pleasing that one in four grades awarded was a grade 8 or 9. Many pupils gained exceptional results, with one pupil gaining11 grade 9s, but just as importantly, the majority of pupils achieved or exceeded their target grades.

https://www.englischeinternate.com/schools/downside-school

Downside School achieves consistently good academic results. In 2023, its GCSE results yielded 42% 9-7 grades and its A-Levels 38% A-grades. A considerable achievement, given that the school is relatively non-selective.

New Hall School

With the media focussing on the fall in top grades, our cohort have amazingly achieved an 8% increase in the proportion of grade 9s this summer compared to a national decline of 26%. Grade 9 results were also higher than our pre-pandemic 2019 results, with a 27% increase. Nationally, the 2023 grades 9-7 are at 22% whereas Leighton Park’s Year 11s have reached 50% as well as 96% grades 9-4 against the national average of 68%.

Ruthin 事件

https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/education/scandal-hit-school-first-woman-22834956

A scandal-hit school has its first woman headteacher in 700 years and this is what she's planning

Ruthin School's former principal Toby Belfield was sacked after 'flirty texts' to pupils

Being appointed the first woman in 700 years to lead one of Britain’s oldest and most historic schools is no mean feat.

Taking the job after the £38,000-a-year school was rocked by a safeguarding scandal and the former principal sacked over “flirty texts” to pupils, even more so.

https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/ruthin-school-toby-belfield-sacked-17680980

Sue Frencham is quite frank when she says the last year as principal at Ruthin School in Denbighshire has had its challenges.

On top of dealing with damning Estyn and Care Inspectorate Wales reports about safeguarding, there was a global pandemic and remote learning for her to steer Wales’ highest fee-paying school through.

The former state school chemistry teacher admitted the first line of Ruthin’s most recent Estyn report in February, 2021, before she took over, was “stinging”.

She recalled days that began at 6am and ended at 10 or 11pm but was confident the school, founded in 1284, had turned a corner since this time last year when the Welsh Government threatened to shut it down.

While much of the news was dominated by continuing lockdowns and school closures last February the then Ruthin principal Toby Belfield was sacked with “immediate effect”. He had sent messages to female pupils on social media in which he talked about breasts, virginity and sexuality.

Ruthin said it was terminating his employment a week after the Welsh Government hinted it could effectively shut down the school unless appropriate action was taken after a damning Care Inspectorate Wales report said that children at the school were at risk of harm.

https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/children-35k-year-boarding-school-17613246.amp

The inspection was prompted by a series of inappropriate messages sent to a teen from the former head on Instagram, in which he told her she was cute and that she looked good in her blazer.

North Wales Live reported at the time that it had seen hundreds of screen shots of messages that Mr Belfield sent to three different youngsters on social media sites and Whatsapp between 2017 and May, 2020.

In them, he boasted about his seniority and said “flirting is fine,” sent love hearts and emojis and commented on the size of TV star Rachel Riley’s breasts.

He said he liked women “small and petite” and asked one student if she had an eating disorder because she was a “thin girl” before going on to tell her she looked good.

The concerns about Toby Belfield led to an unannounced inspection by schools inspections body Estyn which found the school didn’t meet regulations to ensure the welfare, health and safety of pupils.

Estyn’s report echoed the similar report from the Care Inspectorate Wales which found pupils, were “at risk of harm” at the school .

Kirsty Williams, Wales’ Education Minister at the time, made clear she had no power to sack the headteacher but that if the school did not take the necessary steps to meet its legal safeguarding responsibilities, she did have the power to stop the school from offering full-time education.

In response, Ruthin, where many of the pupils are boarders, said it was taking immediate action and Mr Belfield had not been carrying out his duties since investigations began.

As the school began addressing matters, an interim principal was appointed before Sue Frencham took up the post last March.

Coming to the exclusive school as a chemistry teacher nine years ago from the state sector, she said she didn’t have much time to decide whether to accept the job, but didn’t need it. She said she loved the school, had already been promoted as assistant head (academic) and wanted to help put right what was wrong.

No parents cited the scandal as a reason for removing their children and there was “no groundswell” of concern among parents, she added.

But the situation had “rocked everybody” and safeguarding and other procedures and policies had to be re-written and acted upon, she said.

A Leeds University graduate, Mrs Frencham has spent her teaching career in and around north Wales. She came to Ruthin from The Catholic High School in Chester and before that worked at Ysgol Aberconwy.

Working in the independent sector was "amazingly different", largely because of the far smaller class sizes, she said. But turning a school around during a crisis was a new challenge again.

“I took over in March, 2021. I did not have a lot of time to make the decision. Of course you have to think carefully about taking a role like this, but I did not have any reservations. I felt it was unfair for us to be in the position we are in. It would be fair to say everybody has been rocked by the events of what happened.”

With her own teenage daughter at the school she felt it was safe but work needed to be done.

“Toby Belfield was already head when I joined. The way the school was run in the past has caused recent challenges and the most important thing is that the school acknowledges we had difficulties in the past and needed a change," Mrs Frencham said.

“We have gone headlong into a transformation to turn the school into what it is now.

“I wanted to put right all the things that needed putting right. I was uncomfortable with some of the things that had been going on and knew what it needed to put right.”

Ruthin, which has pupils from around the world including Kazakhstan, China and Russia, has been working with Estyn and CiW . So far, there have been two improvement meetings with the inspectorate on top of reform behind the scenes.

“The school is flourishing in pastoral care. We retain our academic credentials, but now we are looking at individuals more and making sure of individual achievements rather than looking at the top of league tables. Parents and children have been supportive. No-one left because of this.”

There is a new governance structure, a new safeguarding lead and a change of leadership structure.

The school does have the children’s mobile phone numbers but individual staff don’t have personal contacts with children. They sign a code of conduct and training is “more robust”.

Mrs Frencham admitted there was still work to be done and that the Estyn report pulled no punches. She hoped and expected the next report would be different.

The current report, published in February 2021, reads: “Overall, the school continues to fail to meet standard 3 of Independent School Standards (Wales) Regulations 2003. That Standard 3 is the “welfare, health and safety of pupils”.

However, the document added that Ruthin was “beginning to respond suitably to the recommendations of the previous focused visit”.

“I would not say we have come away unscathed,” said the new principal.

"It has been a very challenging period but we absolutely have faced and acknowledged events of the past. Yes, the first line of the inspection is damning, but we hope that will change when Estyn and CiW next come in.”
Looking back on the year, she hoped 2022 would be calmer.

“We did all this in the middle of a pandemic. We made this transformation during Covid. It’s been an incredible challenge with this on top of Covid.

“It’s been incredibly intense but I love this school. The real reason I took this job is because it’s an amazing school.”

On being the first woman to lead Ruthin, which took its first female pupils in 1990, Mrs Frencham said it would have an impact.

"It is quite a weight and responsibility. I have seen our girls here being very buoyed by the knowledge they have a female head now."

The response from Estyn

Asked to comment on the situation at Ruthin, Estyn said it could not comment on individual circumstances relating to a provider.

A spokesperson added: “Where we identify that schools don’t meet the independent schools standards, we will always leave recommendations for improvement and will provide advice to Welsh Government on the appropriateness of a post inspection action plan. Once the plan is approved by Welsh Government, the school provides us and Welsh Government with regular updates.

“We always carry out follow-up inspection activity to check that the school has made progress against recommendations and meets the independent school standards.

“In some cases, where there are particular concerns that may take longer to address, Welsh Government asks us to meet with the schools more regularly to discuss progress as well as offer support in identifying appropriate improvement plans.

“We also use the evidence from our independent school inspections to provide regular feedback on key issues to support improvement through an annual conference organised by the Welsh Independent Schools Council (WISC).”

What Care Inspectorate Wales said about Ruthin School

A report from Care Inspectorate Wales, published in May, 2021, after the school began work to improve safeguarding, said: "Children are safer because the safeguarding arrangements are clearly defined and the process for reporting safeguarding concerns is more open and transparent, but there are still areas for improvement.

Gillian Keegan pledges crackdown on mobiles in schools

Many schools already have phone bans in place but new guidelines will urge all head teachers to introduce stringent rules

Head teachers in England will be told to ban pupils from using mobile phones during the entire school day under new government guidance.

The Department for Education wants children to be barred from using devices on breaks as well as in class.

Education Secretary Gillian Keegan will announce the plans at the Conservative Party conference on Monday.

The government already encourages head teachers to limit phone usage and many schools have restrictions in place.

But government sources say they are confident expanding the guidance will make a difference in reducing the use of phones during the school day.

The new guidance will be issued "shortly" but a specific date has not been announced.

Ms Keegan - who will address her party's conference in Manchester on Monday afternoon - will say mobile phones are a distraction and are often used for bullying.

The new guidelines will be designed to allow pupils to bring their phones to school so they can be used on the journeys there and back but will not be allowed to use them during the school day.

Introducing national restrictions on phone usage in schools is an idea that has been touted before, including by Schools minister Nick Gibb in 2019.

Former Education Secretary Gavin Williamson also said he favoured a ban in 2021, saying "mobile phones should not be used or seen during the school day".

But in February 2022, the education department said blanket national rules were not necessary because a majority of schools in England were already taking action.

Heads already have the power to restrict phones on their premises and the government estimated in 2018 that 95% of schools have imposed restrictions.

But rules differ across the country, with some pupils forced to hand their device at the start of the day while others are permitted to keep them in their bag or use them between lessons.

The government has previously said it supports any head teacher who wants to implement restrictions.

There are no blanket bans in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, which have devolved powers over schools.

France and China have already introduced national bans on phones in schools, with the Netherland set to follow suit in 2024.

Mobile phones are to be banned in schools as education secretary Gillian Keegan is set to announce a dramatic intervention - to the relief of millions of parents and teachers

Mobiles are to be banned from classrooms, the Education Secretary will announce on Monday.

Gillian Keegan will order schools to outlaw smartphones during lessons, and also in breaks, in a bid to end disruption and make it easier for pupils to focus.

A government source said new guidance would be issued to schools across England requiring them to take action.

'Gillian believes that mobile phones pose a serious challenge in terms of distraction, disruptive behaviour, and bullying,' the insider said. 'It is one of the biggest issues that children and teachers have to grapple with so she will set out a way forward to empower teachers to ban mobiles from classrooms.'

Some schools already ban the use of mobiles, with pupils required to hand in their phones each morning – or face the punishment of a detention if they are caught using them.

But many others still permit their use, particularly during breaks, despite growing evidence of the damage they cause.

The announcement will be made on Monday at the Conservative Party's annual conference in Manchester, where:

Jeremy Hunt will pledge to 'make work pay' by boosting the national living wage to £11 an hour and cutting benefits for those who refuse to look for employment;

Liz Truss will pile pressure on Rishi Sunak to cut taxes and lift the ban on fracking in order to kickstart economic growth;

The Prime Minister was boosted by a poll showing Labour's lead down to 10 points for the first time since he entered No 10;

Tory infighting erupted over Suella Braverman's views on multiculturalism, with her predecessor Priti Patel branding her an attention seeker.

Monday's announcement of a ban on the use of mobiles in the classroom follows years of debate about their impact. How the ban is enforced will be down to individual state schools.

Many parents are content for their children to carry a phone so that they can make emergency contact while travelling to and from school.

But the presence of smartphones in the classroom – and constant notifications from apps – has been blamed for causing disruption, as well as fuelling cyber-bullying and thefts. In June, Finland became the latest country to ban phones in class in a bid to reverse a decline in exam results.

The following month, a major United Nations report recommended smartphones should be banned to improve learning and tackle classroom disruption and cyberbullying.

Unesco, the UN's education, science and culture agency, pointed to evidence that excessive mobile phone use was linked to reduced educational performance. It said countries should ensure they have clear objectives and principles to ensure digital technology in education avoids harm – both to pupils and wider democracy.

Unesco's director general, Audrey Azoulay, said that 'attention must be paid' to the way the 'digital revolution' is used in education.

She said at the time: 'Its use must be for enhanced learning experiences and for the wellbeing of students and teachers, not to their detriment.' Studies have found links between phones and poor mental health among children – including anxiety, depression and low self-esteem.
There are also growing concerns that pupils are using mobiles to bully each other on social media and for sexual harassment. Ministers have previously tried to ban mobile phones in state schools.

Two years ago, then-education secretary Sir Gavin Williamson vowed to make the school day 'mobile-free', and won support from Dame Rachel de Souza, the Children's Commissioner for England. But the proposed ban was ditched by his successor, Nadhim Zahawi, early last year.

The Department for Education said instead that revised guidance would make clear that 'heads are best placed' to make decisions on mobiles.
