London headteacher brags his school exam results have jumped a grade since he introduced a no-nonsense ban on phones despite Labour claiming policy is unnecessary
A London headteacher boasted about his schools improved exam results thanks to a strict phone ban, despite Labour branding pleas for a policy to bar devices from classrooms a 'headline grabbing gimmick'. Excelsior Academy in Hackney, east London, saw their average A-level grades jump from a C to a B in the last year. And the school's headteacher, Omar Deria, 45, has boiled down their recent success to barring phones at the academy. Describing the impact as 'miraculous', he explained new rules mean a pupil's caught using such devices can have them taken away for as long as a week. Recalling his first day at the school in 2022, Mr Deria said the students were 'glued to their phones scrolling.' Although the headmaster confessed it was a 'struggle' to tear the children away from the tech at first, he claims they thank teachers when results day rolls around. 'The impact in the classroom has been nothing short of miraculous. You are dealing with completely different people, their personalities are different,' he said. 'They are more articulate, chattier, nicer, more engaged, not just with the learning but with other people in general.' It comes after the Government rejected demands for a blanket ban on mobile phones in classrooms amid fears they are damaging educational standards. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson previously rejected a Tory call for tougher action to limit social media exposure, saying the plea was a 'headline grabbing gimmick'. The Government argued headteachers and schools already have sufficient powers to remove mobile phones from teachers. A study from the University of Birmingham also found phone bans in schools didn't have any positive effect on students. The study monitored 1,227 students from 30 schools across England - 20 of which had restrictions on using phones during school time. Their analysis found no connection between phone bans and higher grades, improved mental wellbeing, or better physical health. However, this may be because banning phones fails to reduce the total amount of time children spend on smartphones and social media throughout the week. The bans only succeeded in reducing smartphone and social media use by 40 minutes and 30 minutes per day respectively, as pupils made up the difference at home. However, Excelsior Academy headteacher, Mr Deria, alleged most of his school's behavioural problems stemmed from online, as students became 'unrecognisable' in their behaviour'. 'Around 90 percent of problems we deal with come from online. It gets brought into school and then that takes up a lot of our time,' he added. 'Kids have a completely different personality online. There are so many truly lovely students who go online and become unrecognisable. 'If we can ban phones then we can reduce peer on peer abuse and sexual harassment. If mobile phones are not banned in your school, then they are asking for trouble.' Students have also sung the praises of the new ban, with one student saying it helps encourages them to learn by reducing distraction. Cilen Garip, 17, explained they are able to get more done as they are less distracted by funny videos being shared around classrooms. 'Students were always on their phone in their free time, and it distracted not only them but the people around them,' he said. 'They would show a funny video around and it would distract the whole room. 'Now we can use that time to revise, and I think we get a lot more done. I don't even bother bringing my phone in anymore. I don't miss it.' 16-year-old Hamz Hussain, who hopes to go on to study engineering at university, revealed the ban has helped his ability to focus on the schoolwork at hand. 'Sometimes I miss it but that makes me realise how distracting they can be,' he added: 'Since it started in September, I have found myself revising way more. 'It means that all our work is finished in school and we can enjoy free time more at home. I appreciate having my phone in the evening more now that it is gone in the daytime. Another peer, Falma Hashi, also divulged its improved their ability to socialise in person as they play card games and talk more often without their phones in hand. 'Yesterday we played some card games and just talked rather than all sitting alone on our phones, head down not talking,' they said. 'When you are on your phone you spend a lot of time comparing yourself to people who seem to have this amazing life. 'When you are with your peers you don't do that as much. You see, everyone is really the same as you, without the filters.'

Major change to GCSE results day to be trialled this summer with thousands to get marks in VERY modern way
TENS of thousands of GCSE pupils will receive their results in a very modern way this summer. A pilot to scrap the usual paper certificates is being tried in Greater Manchester and the West Midlands ahead of a planned nationwide rollout. 2 2 The trial will affect 95,000 teenagers this year who will get their grades on the new Education Record app. Education Minister Stephen Morgan said: 'It is high time exam records were brought into the 21st century, and this pilot will allow schools and colleges to focus on what they do best: teaching the next generation rather than being bogged down in bureaucracy. 'This government is slashing red tape through our Plan for Change to drive growth, cut admin for teachers and give tens of thousands of young people more opportunities to get on in skilled careers.' Hathershaw College school has been testing the app since last spring and gave it a thumbs up. Principal Mark Giles said: 'We believe this will reduce administrative burdens on schools, and in the future could also be utilised by parents of younger children to support transition from primary to secondary school.' This comes as academic Becky Francis unveiled her review of the national curriculum tasked by Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson, earlier this year. Her report suggests slashing the amount of 'intensive, high stakes assessment' that is taking a toll on pupils' wellbeing. It highlights how British teenagers are the most tested in the western world, with Year 11s sitting up to 31 hours of papers. While exams force pupils to 'rote learn facts', she said shifting to more coursework could provide better assessments. Schools Minister Nick Gibb says he's optimistic about the GCSE results as students face 'shock' over grades Tory Shadow Education Secretary Laura Trott last night slammed the proposals as 'dumbing down school standards'. She said: 'In moving away from examinations and towards coursework, qualifications will be less rigorous and less credible.' Ms Francis also said the curriculum needs to 'increase diversity in representation' and cited reports calling for more ethnic minority authors to be included. One of the papers that influenced the review was a study called Lit in Colour that bemoaned an education system where 'the literature deemed most worthy of study disproportionately represents a whiteness in a multiracial society.' Ms Francis' review said: 'Pupils told us that not being able to see themselves in the content they learn, or encountering negative portrayals, can be disempowering and demotivating, a point supported by wider evidence.' But it sparked fears of woke teachers foisting their views on young kids in the classroom. Tory MP Nick Timothy said: 'Our schools should absolutely promote tolerance and mutual understanding. 'But we must be very careful to ensure this is not exploited by those who wish to promote divisive identity politics, teaching children to be ashamed of their country and its heritage. Ms Francis - an academic tasked by Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson with carrying out the review - also suggested adapting the curriculum to teach kids about artificial intelligence. Her polling also showed parents wished their children had spent more time learning about finances and budgeting. Ms Phillipson said: "I welcome the important progress Becky Francis and her expert review are making to drive forward work to take the curriculum into the modern era and help deliver on the government's Plan for Change."
