Excelsior Academy in Hackney, east London, reports remarkable transformations following a mobile phone ban. The school's sixth form improved its A Level results from a C to a B in a year, now deemed the most improved in the country. Super head Omar Deria noted that the ban dramatically enhanced student personalities, making them more articulate, engaged, and socially interactive. Students like Falma Hashi shared personal growth, highlighting increased participation in group activities since the prohibition of phones, indicating a broader shift in school culture and student dynamics.
Banning mobile phones in the sixth form has been a game changer for our students. The impact in the classroom has been nothing short of miraculous.
They are flourishing in a way that I haven't seen before, they are different and it's great to see.
Just shows what a huge impact these phones are having on young people. Before the changes were introduced, the students were often unresponsive, that has changed.
Since we can't have mobile phones at school, I have become a lot more open to group social activities.
