A Phone Free School Starts with a Plan

The UK Government is backing the Phone Free Schools movement, and schools across the country are looking for practical, enforceable solutions. But a successful phone-free policy requires more than just a pouch — it requires careful planning, clear communication, and the right support.

That's where Clario is different. We don't just supply pouches. We partner with your school to plan, communicate, and deploy a complete phone-free solution — handling the complexity so your team can focus on what matters most: teaching.

Pouch Options

Clario offers a range of pouch solutions to meet the needs of every student in your school.

Standard Pouch

The core Clario pouch with full Faraday signal blocking and secure magnetic lock. Built with premium neoprene, water-resistant outer layer, and padded interior to protect student devices. Fits all common smartphone sizes.

✓ Faraday signal blocking
✓ Secure magnetic lock
✓ Premium neoprene construction
✓ Unique QR code for tracking

Medical Exemption Pouch

Designed for students with medical conditions who require phone access for health monitoring or emergency communication. The pouch is secured with Velcro rather than the magnetic lock, allowing the student to open it independently when needed.

Features a subtle contrasting edge trim so staff can identify medical pouches at a glance, while remaining discreet enough to avoid drawing unwanted attention.

✓ Velcro secure closure
✓ Subtle contrasting edge trim
✓ Student can self-open
✓ Same premium build quality

Compact Pouch

A smaller format pouch for schools that also need to manage smartwatches and other wearable devices. Uses the same Faraday technology and secure lock system as the standard pouch, in a more compact form factor.

✓ Fits smartwatches & small devices
✓ Full signal blocking
✓ Same secure lock mechanism
✓ Lightweight & discreet

Full Deployment Support from Clario

We don't just supply pouches. We deliver a complete, turnkey phone-free schools solution.

Documentation & Communication

Every Clario deployment includes a full documentation pack tailored to your school. This includes staff briefing notes for your team, parent communication templates for pre-launch letters and FAQs, governor briefing materials, and a comprehensive objection handling guide that addresses the most common concerns from parents and staff alike.

Unlock Stations — Supplied & Installed

Clario supplies and installs the secure unlock stations at your school. Our team will assess the best locations — typically at main entrances, reception, or year group areas — and handle the full installation. Stations can be configured to unlock at set times or on-demand by authorised staff, giving you complete flexibility.

Staff Training

We provide on-site or virtual training sessions for your staff, covering how the system works, how to manage daily routines, and how to handle any edge cases. Training is practical, concise, and designed to get your team confident before launch day.

Ongoing Support

Your dedicated Clario contact is available throughout the deployment and beyond. Whether you need replacement pouches, additional unlock stations, or advice on refining your phone-free policy, we're here to help your school succeed long-term.

The Clario Deployment Process

A structured approach that ensures every stakeholder is prepared and every detail is covered.

1

A no-obligation conversation to understand your school's needs, student numbers, and timeline. We'll recommend the right package and answer any questions.

2

Tailored Planning

We create your bespoke deployment plan including all communication materials, staff briefing notes, and a detailed rollout timeline aligned to your school calendar.

3

Delivery & Installation

Pouches delivered to your school, unlock stations installed and tested by our team, and all equipment ready for launch day.

4

Launch & Support

Go live with confidence. Our team is on hand for launch day support, and your dedicated contact remains available for ongoing assistance.

More Than Just a Pouch

Many schools attempt a phone-free approach with basic pouches or collection boxes. These methods often fail because they don't address the real challenges: communicating the change to parents, handling objections, training staff, and maintaining consistency.

Clario's value add is the complete ecosystem around the pouch. You receive professionally written parent letters, objection handling scripts, staff training, unlock station installation, and a dedicated point of contact throughout your deployment. This is what turns a phone policy into a phone-free school.

Schools that deploy with Clario's full support package report significantly higher adoption rates and fewer parental complaints than those that go it alone. Planning isn't just helpful — it's essential.
