A Glasgow high school has introduced a ban on phones during lessons – with classrooms given a special box to hold the devices.

All Saints Secondary headteacher Brian McDermott said the phones were interfering with learning so the school decided to take action.

Mr McDermott said: “Pupils are asked to put their phone away and if it appears again they must place it in the box. Pupils decided to call it the ‘phone box.’ The young people have responded well.” “Mobile phones have their uses but when you are learning you don’t need to be distracted by a mobile phone.”
