Veiws sought from pupils, parents and teachers
Castle Rushen High School is considering a ban on mobile phones for some of its students.
It was revealed in Tynwald this morning (19 June) the school is currently asking parents, students and teachers for views on the idea.
The ban would apply to Key Stage Three pupils - aged between 11 and 14.
Education, Sport and Culture Minister Graham Cregeen says, although the devices are seen by some as distracting, they can be an important communication tool for parents:
