Are schools asking parents to buy laptops for pupils? 💻 A primary teacher asked us after her daughter's school requested one — so we checked. State primary: 0% ask parents to buy Independent primary: 20% do State secondary: just 2% expect all pupils to buy Independent secondary: 36% do

Infographic titled "Are schools asking parents to buy laptops for their students?" with a pink circular badge reading "Asked by a Teacher Tapper!" Below are four rounded boxes in shades of green/mint with text. First: "In state primary schools, 0% ask parents to buy devices, 27–29% provide devices and the majority say no device is needed at all." Second: "In independent primary schools, 20% ask parents to provide or recommend a laptop, 50% provide devices, and 29% say no device is needed." Third: "In state secondary schools, only 2% expect all pupils to buy a device. The most common response? No device needed — 65% in LAs and 63% in Trusts." Fourth: "Again, independent secondary schools differ — 36% expect all pupils to buy a device." At the bottom, text reads "Got a question you'd like to have answered to help you with a topic in school? Get in touch on Teacher Tapp," with App Store and Google Play badges, set against a light grey background with faint speech bubble decorations.

This was the Covid game changer for me. Primary rarely has changing rooms so the girls changed in the toilets & the boys in class. Loads of nonsense & time wasted. Not to mention other pupils unable to access toilets as crowded. Coming to school in kit means longer for the PE lesson.

Can wearing PE kit all day boost participation, especially among girls? Research suggests it might — so how common is the policy? 🟢 Primary: 77% of teachers say yes, students can wear PE kit all day 🟢 Secondary: just 17% say the same

Phone rules hit schools back in June - what's actually changed? 📈 The TT Tracker shows policies have been tightening steadily, with a big push towards ultra-strict rules in the last 12 months. Good news: mobile phone misuse in secondary schools is at its lowest since we started tracking in 2022!
