A poll suggests 70% of adults believe mobile phones should be banned in schools.

The biggest concern among parents is they could distract their children in class.

They're also worried about devices being used for bullying or being stolen.

A ban was introduced at Castle Rushen High School earlier this Summer - where pupils in years 7,8,9 are banned from using mobile phones.
