We are excited to be one of the first 8 schools in the UK to pilot this app and for the benefits it will bring to the attention, focus, wellbeing and habit building for our students. 

Blackout is an app that is downloaded onto student mobile phones and blocks the use of all apps during school hours.  We will begin the rollout this term and in September.

Please check out the links below for more information.  We have included an installation guide and FAQs but please get in touch if you have any further questions.
