I’m a School
The laws are changing, but children still need support.
Orbiri helps your school and its families build healthier digital habits together - without adding to staff workload.
Governments are introducing stronger restrictions on smartphones. In the UK, from September 2026, your school should be “mobile phone-free by default”.
But you know the school day is only part of a child’s digital life.
Orbiri completes the picture, bringing schools and families together around shared digital boundaries that comply with these restrictions in school, while also supporting life beyond the school gate. Less pressure on you and your colleagues. Less policing for your parents and carers. More room for childhood to breathe.
Every school is now expected to be “mobile phone-free by default” throughout the school day. Your school can choose how it complies with this new, mandatory guidance.
🎒
Orbiri provides the security layer you need to make the low-cost, low-admin “not seen, not heard” option fully compliant.
🔑
If you do choose more physical barriers, such as pouches or lockers, Orbiri still provides one more layer of enforcement, reducing the temptation for kids to break the rules, because even if a child reaches for their phone during school, Orbiri “bricks” it.
📴
During school hours, only approved school apps and essential functions remain available. Afterwards, age-appropriate shared boundaries apply automatically, changing as children grow.
🛡️
Does this mean my schools controls our students phones?
Absolutely not.
Schools just bring the community together and specify any required learning apps. Schools never see messages, browsing or personal app activity. You only see participation status and anonymous, aggregated reporting.
