Therefore if this is going to be the required process by the government then I as a head would just insist that any child found with a mobile in school will have it confiscated,be punished and if they persist in bringing to mobile to school then they would face exclusion.I would also search pupils at the gates before school begins.A bit like the customs where every 4th or 5th pupil would be stopped.

I would also ask the government to pay and install any means to make mobiles unusable within the classrooms.That way we can ensure that public exams are not tainted by the possible use of mobiles.Too expensive for the government though as well as probably needing some legal rethinking.
Calm down.
Many parents insist on their wee ones carrying a mobile for safety/peace of mind. I'm talking way back to primary ones.
Exams - leave your bag/blazer on the peg outside? Or plain make sure it's switched of during teaching time?
