A ban is fine, as is temporary consfication, permanent would be theft. As you say, viewing someone's personal data without their consent is a violation od data protection law, not even a disclaimer of "all mobiles brought on to the premises may be subject to inspection" would enable it to be done. Only way around it I can see is that all pupils wuold be required to sign something to allow any inspection to happen.

Teacher's would have to be carefull with this on a personal level, as personal prosecutions are perfectly possible, even if your doing something as part of your job.
