A school in Kent has caused controversy after banning students from using mobile phones.

Sandwich Technology School enforced the new rule at the start of the term to try to reduce cyber bullying and improve children's mental health.

Those who breach the rule, will have their device confiscated for 24 hours with parents then invited to collect it.
