UK School Bans Smartphones, Allows Basic 'Brick' Phones

Fulham Boys School's new policy aims to protect students from social media's negative effects.

Fulham Boys School is the first in the UK to ban smartphones for students under 16.
Students can use basic 'brick' phones for essential communication.
The policy responds to concerns over social media's impact on mental health and behavior.
The move pressures the government to consider broader restrictions on smartphone use.
Parents and educators support the initiative, seeking a balanced approach to technology.
