Simple. Effective.
Proven.
No complicated setup. No unlock stations. No disruption to your school day. Generation Faraday integrates seamlessly into existing routines in four straightforward steps.
Bag Up
At the start of class — or at the school gate — students place their phone inside the Generation Faraday bag. All wireless signals are instantly blocked the moment the bag is closed. No app required, no Wi-Fi needed. It just works.
The bag's reinforced Faraday liner creates a complete electromagnetic shield. WiFi, 4G/5G, Bluetooth, and NFC signals cannot pass through — in either direction.
Focus
With zero notifications, zero buzzing, and zero temptation, students are fully present. They engage with classmates, participate in discussions, and absorb lessons without the cognitive drain of a device nearby.
Research from the London School of Economics found that banning phones in schools improved test scores by 6.4% overall — and by 14.23% for the most disadvantaged students.
Access
Between classes, at break, and at lunch, students access their devices freely. In an emergency, the bag opens instantly — no unlock station, no special tools, no waiting.
Unlike Yondr and similar locking-only pouches, Generation Faraday bags do not require a centralised unlock station. Students always have immediate access when needed.
Track
The Generation Faraday App lets administrators track bag assignments by student, monitor compliance across classrooms, and manage enforcement from a single dashboard — without disrupting the school day.
Each bag is serialised with a unique ID. Scan any bag to instantly see which student it belongs to, its compliance history, and whether it has been flagged as lost or damaged.
The measurable impact of
phone-free learning.
Up to 20 Minutes Saved Per Day
Teachers report reclaiming up to 20 minutes of instructional time daily — time previously lost to phone reminders, collection, and policy enforcement.
Improved Academic Performance
Removing the constant lure of smartphones leads to higher retention, improved test scores, and better overall academic outcomes — backed by peer-reviewed research.
Reduced Cyberbullying
Signal-blocked devices mean students cannot coordinate disruptions or engage in cyberbullying during school hours, creating a more respectful environment.
Better Social Interaction
Without phones as a social crutch, students engage more meaningfully with peers — improving communication skills and reducing social anxiety.
Effortless Policy Enforcement
No more repeated reminders or manual collection. The bag system makes compliance the path of least resistance for students and staff alike.
Whole-School Accountability
The app provides school leadership with real-time visibility across every classroom — making it easy to identify non-compliance and demonstrate policy effectiveness.
The DfE has spoken.
Now enforce it.
The Department for Education's guidance on mobile phones in schools is clear: schools must have robust, enforceable policies. But guidance without enforcement is just a rule on paper. Generation Faraday provides the technology to make that policy a reality every single day.
- Fully aligned with DfE mobile phone guidance
- Supports Ofsted inspection evidence on behaviour and culture
- Helps schools demonstrate a clear, consistent phone policy
- Reduces the burden on individual teachers to enforce rules
- Provides data and reporting to share with governors and parents
"Each student will place their personal cellular device into a non-locking, signal-blocking pouch during classroom instruction. Students will have access to their device between classes and at lunch."
