Research for a Novel - Part 3

[glowlight]

Hi folks

 

I'm back again with some more questions to hopefully make my fledgling novel about life at vocational school more realistic!

 

1) Do Year 7's have a set bedtime/lights out time?

 

2) Are they allowed to have their mobile phones with them?  Are there any restrictions on use of mobile phones?

 

 

I know that different schools will have different approaches.  I'm just trying to get a feel for it!

 

Thankyou.

1. Yes

 

2. they are not allowed in school. They are allowed them in the boarding house but they have to be handed in before bedtime. (Lots of kids manage to get around this rule).

1. Yes

2. Both my kids schools now allow them to have their phones ‘on site’ but only to be used as ‘learning tools‘ when directed by staff. In reality all the kids ignore this and get away with what they can.

Yep each year has a slightly later phone hand in time and bed time. They have phones all day but at the start of y7 they didnt have them all day to allow them time to settle without constantly messaging home. This may have changed.
