Penkridge Middle School is a mobile-free zone. We discourage pupils from bringing mobiles to school, in order to protect valuable property and respect the privacy of others. Exceptions are made if you feel it is absolutely necessary for safety reasons i.e. walking to and from school alone. If this is the case, you will need to complete the necessary paperwork and permissions before any mobile is allowed on premises (found in your welcome pack). Any mobile agreed with the school must be labelled and handed in to the office on arrival each day and collected at the end of the day.
If your child is unwell, please contact the school
