Smartphone-Free Childhood at St Swithun’s School
At St Swithun’s School, we proudly support the Smartphone-Free Childhood movement.
We believe that childhood is too short to be spent on a smartphone. Our aim is to encourage and empower parents and caregivers to make informed decisions about their child’s access to and use of smartphones.
This is a growing movement, and we are excited to champion initiatives both within and beyond the school that foster healthier relationships between children and technology.
We hope to keep this webpage regularly updated with information about events and resources.
