Supporting the Parent Pact – Smartphone Free Childhood
Dear Parents/Carers,
We would like to make you aware of an important initiative called ‘The Parent Pact’, which aims to support and promote the reduction of smartphone use among children and young people. This campaign, led by Smartphone Free Childhood and supported by the Minister of Education, encourages parents to work together to delay smartphone use until a later age.
By joining this voluntary commitment, parents agree not to provide their children with smartphones until they are older, helping to:
- Reduce early exposure to social media and online risks
- Support children’s mental health and wellbeing
- Foster stronger offline social and family connections
Further information and the opportunity to sign up can be found at:

We appreciate your continued support and commitment to safeguarding, pupil wellbeing and creating a safe and healthy environment for our children.
Kind regards,
Mr. Ciaran McElroy
Principal
