The 2026 Smart Device Approach
From the start of this year, we’ve been listening carefully to parents, students and industry experts as we shaped a new phone approach at Wesley. This is an issue we care deeply about, and our research is clear: introducing smart devices too early can be harmful. A staged approach, aligned with children’s developmental needs, is essential.
