Pupils at the Acorn are ﻿banned from using smartphones and computers and watching TV at all times, including during holidays. The school is appealing to parents concerned about the impact of screens and new technology on their children who are choosing a new brand of “lo-tech/no-tech” education. “We are against all forms of electronics for small children,” the school charter reads, “and only gradual integration towards it in adolescence. That includes the internet. In choosing this school, you have undertaken to support that view, no matter what you may feel personally.”
