Screen time in Cambridge schools
My child will start Reception next year. I’ve heard that many schools now use tablets and one-to-one devices quite heavily, and I’m trying to understand what the reality is like in Cambridge state schools.
For parents with experience of local primary or secondary schools:
How much screen time do children actually have?
Are books still mainly paper-based?
Is homework mostly online or written in exercise books?
Is it possible to find schools with more limited device use, I don’t like the idea that there’s 1-1 device policy in many schools these days?
Personally, I would prefer a more traditional approach with less reliance on screens, so I’d really appreciate hearing people’s experiences.
