The Government’s ‘ban’ on phones is logical. But will it tackle the key issue students, schools and parents face? Sadly not; and here’s what they should do instead. Take a look. The mobile phone ban in schools is the solution to the wrong problem schoolsweek.co.uk/the-mobile…

We should go much further than a phone ban in schools

School is probably where children are safest from smartphones' pernicious influence. What about the rest of the time?

We're back from the break, and so is #LiveTheValues. Sofian secured the black tie after making a fantastic transition from Year 11 to Sixth Form, and was praised in his nominations for his excellent work ethic in all of his subjects.

This week's #LiveTheValues shout-out goes to our School Council Reps. They showed #Duty to the school and their peers last week when they met to discuss the positive changes they would like to see at CoLA. #ExplorationOfLife

Ria- A*A*A - Off to Loughborough to study English I'm delighted with my results. My 6th for experience at CoLA has been exceptional - the support from staff has been fantastic. I would like to thank Ms Boyle, because she has been so patient and supportive.
