BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE (BYOD) POLICY
1.0 RATIONALE 1.1 As the nature of learning changes, there is more emphasis on using digital materials. The school
recognises the benefits to learning offered by using personal IT devices in school. It is the intention of this policy to facilitate and support the use of personal IT devices in school to support independent learning.
1.2 Students must sign a declaration agreeing to be bound by the rules and requirements set out in
this policy before they will be permitted to use personal IT devices in school. The declaration must be counter-signed by a parent or guardian.
1.3 This policy should be read in conjunction with the following policies:
Online Safety Policy (KS/C&P/034)
IT Acceptable Use (KS/C&P/034, Appendix 2)
Behaviour Policy (KS/C&P/044)
Teaching and Learning Policy (KS/C&P/087)
General data Protection Regulations (GDPR) Policy (KSMAT/STAT/023) 2.0 ACCEPTABLE USE OF PERSONAL DEVICES 2.1 The only purpose for bringing a personal IT device into school is for educational use. Using a
personal IT the device for any other reason during school hours is not permitted. 2.2 Under this policy the following IT devices are allowed:
laptop computers
netbook or notebook computers
tablet computers
e-Readers (e.g. Kindle)
These are known as permitted IT devices. 2.3 The permitted IT device must have Wi-Fi capability. If it has 3G/4G capability this must be disabled
whilst in school. The school's Wi-Fi network is intended to support any operating system (e.g. Microsoft Windows, Android, MacOS). If you are uncertain whether your device is permitted, check with the IT Network Manager.
Smartphones are not permitted IT devices.
2.4 All permitted IT devices intended to be used must be submitted to the IT Network Manager for
registration. All school Wi-Fi activity will be tracked and the registered student is fully responsible for all usage. This will be deemed as constituting personal data linked to a personal identifier under the terms outline in the GDPR Policy (KSMAT/STAT/023). This data will not be further processed in any way unless there is deemed to be a breach in this user agreement. If there is a breach the data may be provided to a third party such as the police. The data collected will be retained for the same period as actively logged when a school computer is used. Currently this is for a period of 30 days.

2.5 Permitted IT devices should be used by the registered student only. Students must have sufficient security protection on their device, for example locks and password protection.
2.6 Students are ONLY permitted to connect to the school Wi-Fi network while using a permitted IT
device in school. Accessing 3G/4G networks is forbidden. Devices may be used “offline” for school work only.
2.7 Students should use school lockers to store personal permitted IT devices. It is the students’ responsibility for their safe-keeping.
2.8 Use of permitted IT devices during the school day is at the discretion of staff. Students may use
devices as directed by their teachers in lessons or under the supervision of the Sixth Form Learning Supervisor or Librarian.
2.9 The use of a permitted IT device is not to be a distraction to learning. IT devices must not disrupt
a class or private study area in any way. Playing games or other non-school work related activities are not permitted.
2.10 Students must check their permitted IT device daily to ensure it is free from unsuitable material
and viruses etc. before bringing it into school. 2.11 Students must check their permitted IT device daily for basic Health and Safety compliance to
ensure it is free from defects. Particular attention should be paid to the power lead (lead not frayed; plug correctly fitted and containing the correct fuse rating), the keyboard (all keys present; no bare metal exposed), the screen (free from flicker and damage) and the device battery (able to hold a charge). Any IT device that has obvious Health and Safety defects should not be brought into school. If you have concerns you must speak to the IT Network manager.
2.12 A permitted IT device must be surrendered for inspection at the request of a member of staff. 2.13 The use of any device to bully, harass or intimidate others will not be tolerated whether or not the
student is in the care of the school at the time of such use. Disciplinary action in accordance with the anti-bullying policy (KS/C&P/045) and behaviour policy (KS/C&P/044) will be taken where the school becomes aware of such use.
3.0 SEARCHING 3.1 If there is good reason to suspect that an IT device has been, or could be used to cause harm, to
disrupt teaching or break school rules, the device will be confiscated and may be used as evidence in disciplinary proceedings. Any data or files on the IT device may be searched and, where appropriate, data or files may be erased before the IT device is returned to its owner. Any data or files will only be erased, if there is good reason to suspect that the data or files have been, or could be used to cause harm, to disrupt teaching or break school rules. Once any proceedings have been concluded the IT device must be collected by a parent or carer and the pupil may be prohibited from bringing it onto school premises. If any material found on such an IT device is of such seriousness that police involvement is required, it may be handed to the police for investigation, in such circumstances the school will not erase any data or files and will cease examining such IT devices immediate.
